ISIS released a video claiming to show the two jihadists who killed a French priest in Normandy, France Wednesday. The video, which was uploaded to the terrorist group’s news agency IK Amaq a day after the terrorists beheaded Father Jacques Hamel, 85, during mass, allegedly shows the two men believed to be Adel Kermiche and his accomplice, named in unconfirmed reports as Abdel Malik P, pledging allegiance to the head of the Islamic State (IS) next to an IS flag. One of the men appears to be reading a text in the Arabic language, reportedly pledging support to the ‘Caliph’ of the Islamic State (IS), Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, according to IK Amaq agency. Meanwhile, it has been revealed that French authorities had been tipped off about the attack 4 days before it took place, according to French media. As RTL reported, French secret services had received credible information of an imminent terrorist attack by a foreign intelligence agency four days before the assault.
