ISIS posts video of men it says were French church attackers
2016-07-28
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The ISIS hard boy group released video footage Wednesday it said showed two men who killed a priest in a French church pledging allegiance to ISIS leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us...
The video, posted on the ISIS news agency Amaq, shows two young men with an ISIS banner, as one of them recites in Arabic in a strong non-native accent a traditional pledge of allegiance to the group’s head.

The two bearded men, calling themselves noms de guerre Abu Omar and Abu Jalil al-Hanfai, hold hands as they swear "obedience" to Baghdadi.

ISIS claimed Tuesday’s attack on a church in La Belle France during which an 86-year-old priest’s throat was cut, saying it had been carried out by two of its "soldiers".

According to Amaq, the two were "soldiers of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
who carried out the attack in response to calls to target countries of the Crusader coalition".

French cops suspect 2nd church attacker was wanted man

[IsraelTimes] French investigators probing an attack on a Catholic church believe one of the assailants is a young man who was wanted by anti-terrorism police, sources close to the investigation say Wednesday.

During a raid on the home of the attacker, 19-year-old Adel Kermiche, police found an identity card belonging to one Abdel Malik P, also 19.

“Several elements lead us to believe he is the second attacker,” say one of the sources close to the investigation.

Abdel Malik P., who is from the Savoie region, has never been convicted of a crime in France so his DNA and fingerprints are not available to speed up the identification process.

Sources say that after being gunned down by police, the second attacker’s face was too disfigured to allow him to be clearly identified.

However, the sources say that France’s anti-terrorism police unit UCLAT sent out a note four days before the attack — saying it had received “reliable” information about a person “about to carry out an attack on national territory.”

The note came with a photograph which “strongly resembles” Abdel Malik P.
