Video shows France church attackers pledge allegiance to IS

The Islamic State jihadist group released video footage today it said showed two men who killed a priest in a French church pledging allegiance to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

The video, posted on the IS news agency Amaq, shows two young men with an IS banner, as one of them recites in Arabic in a strong non-native accent a traditional pledge of allegiance to the group’s head.
