French Investigators Yet to Assess if Nice Attacker Worked Alone or in a Group
French security officials are still assessing whether the Nice attacker was working alone or in a group, but the attack bears the hallmark of Islamist militants, the Paris prosecutor said on Friday.
The investigation will try to determine whether he benefited from accomplices (and) it will also try to find out whether Mohamed Laouaiej Bouhlel had ties to Islamist terrorist organisations. Although yesterday’s attack has not been claimed, this sort of thing fits in perfectly with calls for murder from such terrorist organisations.Francois Molins, Paris Prosecutors
Molins, who said Bouhlel’s ex-wife was in police custody, added that the man had shot several times at policemen before his vehicle was stopped and he was killed.
Police found one pistol and various fake weapons in the truck’s cabin. They later seized a telephone and computer at his home.
