Adel Kermiche has been identified by The Independent as one of the two attackers who killed the 85-year-old priest Jacques Hamel in Normandy, France. Adel was known to French authorities and had been monitored electronically after he was jailed twice for attempting to join ISIS in Syria. He was released on March 22, 2016.
After Adel and his accomplice (who also lived locally and was on a terrorist watch list) forced Father Hamel to kneel down, the two attackers cut the priests throat. Although both terrorists were killed by police before they killed anyone else, another one of their hostages was badly injured.
