PARIS (Reuters) - French President Francois Hollande said on Tuesday two hostage takers who killed a priest in a church in Normandy, northern France, were terrorists who had pledged allegiance to Islamic State.

“Daesh has declared war on us, we must fight this war by all means, while respecting the rule of law, what makes us a democracy,” he told reporters at the scene in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, south of Rouen, using an Arab acronym for the Islamist extremist group

A police source said it appeared that the priest had his throat slit during the siege at the church in the Normandy town of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, south of Rouen. The hostages also included two nuns and two worshippers, according to BFM TV.
