President Francois Hollande said the men claimed to be from so-called Islamic State (IS). Speaking in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, he said the attackers had committed a "cowardly assassination" and France would fight IS "by all means".
Maybe "by all means" does not mean the same thing to him that it does to others.

"The person that did this odious act is known, and he has been followed by the police for at least a year and a half,"

Lot of good that does.

This seems like a smart strategy:

It comes after it was revealed that one of the killers, 19-year-old Adel K., was being monitored by electronic tag after twice attempting to join fanatics in Syria.
His bail terms, however, allowed him to be unsupervised between 8.30am and 12.30pm. The attack happened between 9am and 11am.

I just saw this story on the news......how horrible......if I were in position of authority in France I would be "Bobby Knight chair-throwing mad" over this crap!

Instead we get "milk toast" from Hollande.

That is my fear in this Country that most will think how dare you profile. When enough people are killed maybe some not most will think that profiling is not such a bad thing when it comes to protecting our citizens.

From Trumpbart London:

UPDATE 1220 BST — Archbishop of Rouen describes alleged Islamist killers as “victims” in statement
Away from his diocese at the World Youth Day celebrations in Krakow, Poland the archbishop of Rouen has released a statement on the death of one of his priests this morning, which strangely seems to identify both the slain clergyman and his killers as “victims”.
He said: “I have learnt with sadness of the killing this morning at the Church of Saint-Etienne du Rouvray. The three victims: the priest, Father Jacques Hamel, 84, and the perpetrators of the assassination."
Three victims? I hope something was lost in translation.
