Shouting “Allahu Akbar,” two Muslim attackers with knives on Tuesday assaulted and executed a Catholic priest in the French city of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray near Rouen.
A nun who was in the church during the attack told local media the priest was “forced to his knees” before his throat was slit and that the terrorists recorded the attack on video.
“He wanted to defend himself. And that’s when the tragedy happened,” said the nun, who identified herself as Sister Danielle. “They did a sort of sermon around the altar, in Arabic. It’s a horror.”
The assailants were shot and killed by police as they emerged from the church, according to authorities....
