French church attackers pledged allegiance to ISIS in video

Two jihadists who attacked a French church and killed a priest pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, a video showed on Wednesday, as investigators worked to identify the second assailant. The attack is the third in two weeks in France and Germany in which jihadists have pledged allegiance to the group, increasing jitters in Europe over young, often unstable men being lured by ISIS propaganda and calls to carry out attacks in their home countries. France was still deep in mourning over the massacre when two men stormed into a church in the northern town of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray during morning mass on Tuesday and slit the 86-year-old priest's throat at the altar before being gunned down by police.
