Knifemen shot by police in Normandy after 'slitting priest's throat' and taking hostages
The Telegraph (UK) ^ | 26 JULY 2016 | David Chazan

Police have shot two men who took a priest and several others hostage at knifepoint at a church in north-western France.

The men cut the priest's throat before being "neutralised," police said.

Le Figaro newspaper reported that the priest died after his throat was cut.

The men’s motives are still unknown. Elite police units rushed to the church in the Normandy town of Saint-Etienne-du Rouvray after the men seized a number of people including a priest and two nuns.

It remains unclear whether the hostage takers were killed in the police action.

A police source told AFP that one of the hostages has been killed.

Up to six people were being held by the assailants in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, according to police sources.

A priest is understood to be among the hostages, as well as two nuns and a worshipper.

Their motives are unknown and police have arrived at the scene, according to news website Normandie Actu.

The interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, is travelling to the church.

The hostages included the priest, two nuns and two worshippers.

Police have sealed off the church, while ambulances are on the scene.

More to follow.

Ah, stop jumping to conclusions (sarc).

Yeah, I'd day his throat was cut alright.

The music to the cake walk keeps on playing. It is an endless cycle. Muslim killing here, Muslim killing there, and the faint of mind will continue to call us racists for suggesting that refugees and immigration is posing a clear and present danger.

I was arguing with a young man on facebook. In the end it comes done to Israel. I swear to God if you scratch the itch of a liberal long enough, Israel will come into the conversation. We are hypocrites, apparently, wanting to control immigration, when we support Israel’s illegal settlements.

If by “demonic” you mean “muslim,” ( and I consider them the same), yes.

Early reports indicate it was a air conditioner that attacked the priest.

I wonder why they even care. Most anti-gun types are atheists who don’t attend church anyway.

It’s only frightening when Muslims come into a Christian church with guns.

ISLAM = SATANISM.

No wonder why the Left is allied with Islam.

“Moderate Muslim” = backslidden Muslim.

Religion of peace refers to the “peace” of death.

Hooray! We’re saved, piano guy is here to play a sad song. Jean Kerry would bring an air conditioner, but that’s worse than ISIS.

To: Alas Babylon!

the guy was a KNOWN islamic terrorist, under “house arrest”... and shouting that name during a murder spree... is exactly what they do... Some arabs who support islamism, call out support for DAESCH as a cheer and acclamation of that Islamist State.

Never believe anything the press holds out or offers up as an example or implication that some of the pukes may be better than others, or not as extreme.

If they PRACTICE ISLAM as in the Koran... they are Islamist Terrorist Jihadies.

News of this puke’s Islamist background, was repressed just as it is in EVERY INCIDENT. The States/nations involved are trying to prevent backlash incidents.

But UNTIL there is horrific backlash poured out within a nation’s borders over each incident... sufficient to drive the adherents of this political/murder cult... to run for their lives back to the hell holes that spawned them.. Islamist Terror will increase.

EVERY church/temple that is NOT Islamic MUST be armed with security perimeters and entry guards. Armed... throughout Europe and the USA, once the pukes are inside the border.

I think investigators must be getting a lot of pressure from on high. I fear the moment they decide to stop even giving out the names of the perps.

Well, I think you are right. The time is fast approaching, where the government elites will simply stop investigating or reporting Muzzie attacks, because they really don't give a rat's a$$ what the COTs (common ordinary troops) think anyway.
They know already, that most of us think all attacks like this, are Muzzie attacks anyway, until we can learn otherwise. They don't care if a million of us get killed. In fact, I think they welcome that. I have nothing but contempt for government elites.

As do I.

I watched for awhile but has FNC been good about keeping us abreast of the latest Europe attacks?

I think they have, but who knows? Maybe even they will bow to PC later, and do the same thing, by saying they don't know what the motives are either.
I think they know that most of us know who is behind these terrorist attacks.

The men’s motives are still unknown.

Really? They're unknown? Just like Hillary's sending of classified e-mails on e-mail and hosting them on an unsecured server.

Pah! "unknown."

Nothing to see here. /Comey
