Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray in Normandy, northern France, was stormed by two knifemen who slit 84-year-old Jacques Hamel's throat before cops shot them dead.
But it can now be revealed that it was one of a number of Catholic churches on a terrorist "hit list" belonging to a suspected ISIS jihadi.
Sid Ahmed Ghlam, 24, was arrested last April when he called an ambulance in Paris after shooting himself in the leg.
Investigators believe he was a terrorist planning "imminent attacks" in France on the orders of ISIS leaders.

An arsenal of weapons was found in Ghlam's car, which was parked nearby, and at his student accommodation.
It included Kalashnikovs, a police-issue pistol and a number of bullet-proof vests.
Analysis of documents, computers and phones found at his flat suggested Ghlam was in contact with a French speaker in Syria who had ordered him to carry out attacks on churches.

SINISTER FIND: Sid Ahmed Ghlam is alleged to be carrying a list containing the French church
These included the Sacre-Couer basilica in Paris, and places of worship including the one in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray targeted today.
Ghlam is currently in a high-security prison awaiting trial for "murder, attempted murder, association with criminals with a view to commit crimes against people" and for other infractions "connected to a terrorist organisation".
The computer student, who was born in Algeria, was also charged with the murder of a 32-year-old woman, who was found in the passenger seat of her burning car after his arrest.
Dance instructor Aurelie Chatelain, a mum-of-one, who had just attended a Pilates class, died after she was shot three times in the head, in what police believe may have been an attempt by Ghlam to hijack her car.

  1. People of France, wake up, Now you start to feel what do you have among you, " Les germes de violence se trouvent dans le fond de leur Coran ". you can't continue under the same rules of democracy, because it will be used one day to eliminate you, The Democracy for them is as a trojan horse. e.g. once they have their representatives in the parliament, after that, getting majorities, then they are going to introduce new bills (for their benefits) hence, social statu quo will start to change,it will take decades,... all that because of our actual system of managing our societies.
    No you can't continue like that!if you want to see your future, look what's happening in: Irak, Syria, some North Africain countries,...etc
    I'm not saying to denounce democracy syst., but to update that sys in order to save societies, especially the future generations to come.
