(Breitbart) Text messages of the two Islamist men who murdered Father Jaques Hamel and a “sponsor” in Syria reveal how the terrorists chose to target the elderly priest.
Five years after the deadly attack which saw Father Jaques Hamel murdered in his church while delivering mass in Normandy, French media have published text messages of Islamist attackers Abdel-Malik Petitjean and Adel Kermiche and their “sponsor” Rachid Kassim, an Islamic State member in Syria, believed to have originated from Roanne in the Loire Valley.
Petitjean is revealed to have messaged Kassim asking for advice on targets saying, “Is a synagogue good?” with the man from Syria responding that nightclubs and cafes were better targets, Le Point reports.
