French President To Meet All Leaders of Major Religions
President Francois Hollande will meet with the heads of all France's major religions today.
He's trying to calm tensions sparked by the murder of an elderly priest in Normandy yesterday that was claimed in the name of Islamic fundamentalists ISIS.
Meanwhile it's emerged that one of the jihadists involved in yesterday's murder was under surveillance by terrorism police.
The 19-year-old was even wearing an electronic surveillance tag at the time of the attack.
Despite criticism over lax security French President Francois Hollande says the terrorists will be defeated:
