      File photo dated July 18, 2020 - Firefighters are seen during a fire at the Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul cathedral in Nantes, western France, on July 18, 2020. A blaze that broke inside the gothic cathedral of Nantes on July 18 has been contained, emergency officials said, adding that the damage was not comparable to last year's fire at Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris. 'The damage is concentrated on the organ, which seems to be completely destroyed. Its platform is very unstable and could collapse,' regional fire chief General Laurent Ferlay told a press briefing in front of the cathedral. -- A Rwandan national suspected of causing a major fire that ravaged the cathedral in the French city of Nantes last year murdered a Catholic priest Olivier Maire in western France.
