POLICE IN SOUTHWEST France have arrested a 21-year-old man in connection with the jihadist killing of a priest in a Normandy church last month.
The man was arrested on Monday in the Toulouse area.
He is the second man to be held in connection with the murder of 85-year-old Jacques Hamel, whose throat was slit in front of worshippers while he was celebrating mass in the town of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray on 26 July.
A police source said he had been in contact with the cleric’s killers, Abdel Malik Petitjean and Adel Kermiche, who had pledged allegiance to the so-called Islamic State group.
The pair, both aged 19, were shot dead by police after a hostage drama in which a worshipper was seriously wounded.
The attack came less than two weeks after a Tunisian man ploughed a 19-tonne truck into a crowd celebrating Bastille Day in the Riviera city of Nice, killing 85 people and wounding more than 300.
Farid K
A cousin of Petitjean named as Farid K was remanded in custody on 31 July on charges of “criminal association in connection with terrorism”.
The public prosecutor said the 30-year-old “was fully aware of his cousin’s imminent violent action, even if he did not know the precise place or day”.
Hamel’s killing, which follows a string of attacks in France over the past 18 months, has raised questions about security failures.
Kermiche, who lived near the church, wore an electronic tag and was allowed to leave home on weekday mornings under his house arrest terms.
He met Petitjean through the encrypted messaging app Telegram.
Investigators have questioned several people over the killers’ links with groups recruiting for jihad in Syria.
A 20-year-old man has been charged with trying to travel to Syria with Petitjean in June.

They are already talking about using this technology to cure phobias like speaking in public and other more general forms of social anxiety. The possibilities with this technology are immense and positively exciting.
More likely people will use them to escape social situations as we veer further towards a fully virtual society.
Porn, it’s going to be used for porn. Same as the Internet.
FFS get a grip,that was pure shite!
Jasus The Journal has gone downhill if this is considered newsworthy
They’ve always peddled fluff alongside the more pressing issues. Room for them both
Every weekday at 11am we have Take a Break, it’s generally a lighter video like this. We have about 60+ articles a day, so there’s plenty to read that isn’t like this.
Great, now look what you’ve done Cosmo. Hope you’re happy.
Pass no heed aoife you’re doing a sterling job. Snapchat hun?
Yes but not every video with an “Irish Mammy” is funny
I like the Journals work @Aoife. Never mind the bugrudgers! I think it’s a great video. .. shows how accessible it is. The Irish mammy dropping f-bombs is classic!!
Nothing to do with begrudging, it’s just my opinion and many others that it is cringeworthy and not remotely funny. Journal can do much better than this
Yawn
Was expecting more ‘
FFS Filming in portrait !
You’d think they’d make the cameras not record video in portrait by this stage…
Or you would think people would know to record with their phone sideways by now.
Was only a matter of time before these videos arrived.
I wonder what she was watching
It’s the jurassic Park clip. A sleeping bronctosauaus wakes up and comes over to you. It’s really cool
Why is the footage warping at sections around the womans body?
Illuminati and or NWO, with a possibility of lizard people shapeshifting
That’s nearly two minutes of my life wasted. On the plus side, at least she didn’t pepper the entire video with multiple effing and blinding which, unfortunately, one has come to expect from such Irish-made videos. But for gawd’s sake, why can’t the makers of them use landscape mode?
That looked like me coming home from the pub last night.
Have a look at that wine rack in the background, packed!! Bit early in the day to be drinking!
Are those the 30€ dunnes headsets?
Gear VR
