US condemns France attack in ‘strongest possible terms’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe United States is condemning in the “strongest possible terms” an attack on a French church that left its elderly priest dead.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack, which was carried out by two people who were shot and killed by police.
White House spokesman Ned Price says France and the United States are committed to protecting religious liberty for all faiths. He says that commitment will not waver because of the attack in the small northwestern town of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray.
Price also commends what he says is “quick and decisive response” by French law enforcement.
