The 86-year-old priest identified as Rev. Fr. Jacques Hamel was forced to kneel down before the altar and his throat slit. The pathetic terrorist filmed the process after which one of them made a-sermon-like statement right on the Eucharistic altar in Arabic.

Meanwhile, the 86-year-old priest, ordained priest in 1956 has been fondly described as "a good priest" and one who is "so much loved".
It has been revealed that the Catholic Church is one of the churches and places earmarked by the Islamic State for attack. This revelation was made Sid Ahmed Ghlam, a 24-year-old Algerian born who was arrested last year in Paris with Islamic State ties. A document found in his possession contained names of locations marked out for attack by the Islamic State for possibly attack, one of which Ghlam was to actively participate in.
French President on Tuesday visited the scene of the crime where he expressed his dismay and declared "war" on ISIS. "Daesh has declared war on us. We have to win that war," French President Hollande said.
