Hollande: Church attackers said they were Islamic State

The attackers who killed an elderly priest at his church in Normandy “claimed to be from” the Islamic State group, French President Francois Hollande says.

The two men, armed with knives, stormed the church near the northern French city of Rouen, killing the 84-year-old cleric and taking hostages at a church before being shot dead by police.
