The Standard.co reported:
The two Islamic State soldiers who murdered a French Priest used nuns as as human shields against anti-terrorism police.
One was carrying three knives and a fake explosives belt, while the other carried a kitchen timer wrapped in aluminum foil and had fake explosives in his backpack.
Police have identified one of the assailants as Adel Kermiche, a 19-year-old who grew up in the town and tried to travel to Syria twice last year using family members’ identity documents.
The teenager was arrested outside France and put under house arrest with an electronic surveillance.
