France: More Arrests Following Attack in Nice That Killed 84

HeadlineJul 18, 2016

In news from France, police say they have made two more arrests in connection to the attack last week that left 84 people dead in the city of Nice. The attacker, 31-year-old French citizen Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, was shot dead by police after driving a truck through crowds of people celebrating Bastille Day. Police say they have made a total of six arrests in connection to the attacks, including Bouhlel’s estranged wife and an Albanian couple. A website affiliated with ISIL claimed responsibility for the attack over the weekend, but police say there is no evidence Bouhlel acted on behalf of the group.
