Second Suspect in French Church Attack Identified

The second man who stormed a church during morning Mass this week, holding hostages and killing an octogenarian priest with a knife, was identified Thursday as 19-year-old Abdel-Malik Nabil Petitjean. 
The prosecutor's office said that the man was identified by DNA comparison. Petitjean was identified two days after the other attack was named as Adel Kermiche, also 19 years old and known to French anti-terrorism authorities. 
On Tuesday morning, prosecutors say Petitjean and Kermiche entered a church in the village of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray in Upper Normandy. 
They held six hostages, including three nuns, before one escaped to alert the police. 
An 86-year-old priest, Jacques Hamel, was killed by knife wounds to the throat and chest and another person was seriously injured. The two assailants were killed by police. Hours after the attack occurred, the ISIS group militia claimed responsibility for the attack.
