So, seems the police got to this one quick & nuetralized the threat, with only one death. However, as with the attacks in Germany, people are being told not to take pictures & are having their phones siezed if they are seen using them

Last news : the priest (an old man) was killed, and one parishioner is lethally wounded.
But I guess most French left wing newspapers and 24/24 TV newsreels will speak of "psychopaths " (but how come psychopaths allowed to roam around with kitchen knives in France then?) or will find a way to somehow find a link with "the extreme right". The situation is hopeless.

Let's not jump to conclusions... The motives of the attacker are difficult to unravel. Troubled youth.....

Muslim men already known to French police, one with electronic ankle monitor ordered to remain at his parents house after being caught trying to go to Syria to join ISIS.

Well, if he'd have a gun, the death toll would've been much higher.

Yep - the men who committed the crime claimed to be from ISIS.

News that one of the attackers was on the French government's terror watch-list, known as the S list, will prompt many to question its purpose if he can remain at large to carry a knife into a church.
