France names second priest attacker

French prosecutors on Thursday identified the second jihadist involved in the brutal killing of an elderly priest, as calls mounted for the prime minister and interior minister to resign after the latest terror attack. The prosecutor's office named the assailant as 19-year-old Abdel Malik Petitjean, who was listed in June on France's "Fiche S" of people posing a potential threat to national security after trying to reach Syria from Turkey.

Muslims in the town were supportive of the decision.

Khalid El Amrani, a 25-year-old technician, said he thought it was "normal" that the mosque would refuse to help with the burial.

"What this young man did was sinful, he is no longer part of our community," he said.

The mayor's office will have the final say on whether Kermiche can be buried in the town.

Kermiche and Abdel-Malik Petitjean, also 19, stormed into the 17th-century stone church on 26 July, taking hostages before killing the priest and seriously wounding another captive.

They were shot dead by police as they exited the building using nuns as human shields.

The two nuns who were in the church when Fr Jacques Hamel had his throat cut said one smiled as he carried out the attack.

Sister Huguette Peron told Catholic newspaper La Vie: "I got a smile from the second (man). Not a smile of triumph, but a soft smile, that of someone who is happy."

At one point, Sister Helene got tired and asked to sit down.

She said: "I asked for my cane, he gave it to me."

Then the men started talking about religion, asking the nun if she was familiar with the Koran.

"Yes, I respect it like I respect the Bible, I've read several suras. And those that hit me in particular are the suras about peace," Sister Helene responded.

One of the attackers replied: "Peace, it's what we want ... as long as there are bombs on Syria, we will continue our attacks. And they will happen every day. When you stop, we will stop."

Police are still interviewing three people and a 19-year-old man has been charged with terrorism offences as authorities try to track down accomplices of the two attackers.
