Islamists filmed murder of priest in France

The Islamists filmed the murder of a priest in a French church, which they seized on the morning of July 25. The nun told about this - she was among the hostages.

According to her, when the terrorists entered the church, they demanded that the 85-year-old priest kneel down and stabbed him. “They held a kind of service in Arabic around the altar. It's terrible," said the nun.

She managed to escape while the terrorists were killing the priest. The nun ran out into the street, stopped the car and reported on the Islamists.
