Qatar Tuesday condemned as "contrary to all human values" the deadly attack in France which saw a priest killed by followers of the Islamic State group.

"Qatar has expressed its condemnation and denunciation of the armed attack on a church" in France, foreign ministry said.
"This criminal act is contrary to all human values and principles," a statement added.
Qatar also expressed its "solidarity" with France and expressed its sympathy to the French people.
Tuesday's attack saw two IS "soldiers" storm a church in the Normandy town of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray and slit a priest's throat.
The attack, which also saw three other people taken hostage, was later claimed by the jihadist group.
France has been shaken to the core by a series of terror strikes, and the latest comes less than two weeks after the truck massacre in Nice, which killed 84 people and was also claimed by IS.
