All 84 killed in Nice truck attack are identified

In the two weeks prior to the attack Bouhlel carried out near-daily internet searches for IS propaganda videos and readings from the Koran, Molins said. “But, the investigation will establish the facts”. “So we must still be prudent with what we say on that subject”.

However, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said there was no direct evidence of the Tunisian’s links to IS – which has claimed him as one of their “fighters”.

Searches of Bouhlel’s computer revealed violent images “linked to radical Islam” and indicated that he had a “clear, recent interest” in radicalism, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins told reporters at a news conference this week.

StudioCanal spokesman Antoine Banet-Rivet says Saturday that “the film has been withdrawn from cinemas out of respect for the victims and their families”.

Some in the crowd told CNN they felt the government had failed to provide enough security to stop the attack.

Brigitte Erbibou, a psychologist who has long worked in Nice, said Bouhlel’s reported lack of religious conviction may not have precluded a sudden embrace of extremism, noting that people who have resorted to violence in the past can apply that instinct in other situations.

Late Monday evening, mourners formed a human chain to remove candles, flowers and other mementos honoring the victims of the attack, when Tunisian Mohamed Lahouaiyej Bouhlel drove through crowds watching fireworks.

Corentin Delobel defended Bouhlel against charges of assault earlier this year.

He was “detained on the 23rd of March on 2016” and sentenced to six months, for a road rage incident.

Unlike the perpetrators of the Paris attacks, Bouhlel, a petty criminal with a history of violence and depression, did not travel to the Middle East for training or jihad.

So far, French investigators have yet to make a connection between Lahouaiej-Bouhlel and the terror group – which has claimed responsibility for the Nice attack.

Eighty-four people were killed in the attack. It said officials from Romania’s embassy in Paris and its consulate in Marseille were still trying to locate the three. More than 200 investigators are working on identifying the recipients of the messages. Among them is a 22-year-old man to whom Bouhlel sent a text message minutes before the attack about a pistol he used to fire at the police. “(Bouhlel) wasn’t really a soldier of God who went to Syria and came back to France”, Padovani said.

“He had never been the subject of any kind of file or indication of radicalization”.

“There is no zero risk”.

Police are working to establish whether Lahouaiej-Bouhlel – who the French interior minister said had been “radicalised very quickly” and had not been on intelligence files – had been in contact with jihadis, or had accomplices.

There is a debate in France around whether Lahouaiej-Bouhlel’s attack was motivated by Islamist beliefs or mental illness.

The family is not releasing the photo to the media.

“From 2002 to 2004, he had problems that caused a nervous breakdown”.

“He made more than 80 families grieve, and stained the reputation of our town and our country”, he said. “They are absolutely exhausted after a year and a half of intense efforts to try and protect this country”, he said.

The last extension was to cover the Euro 2016 football tournament and the end of the Tour de France cycling race. No major attacks occurred during the event.

“We must learn to live with this threat”, he told parliament, accusing opponents who suggested the Nice attack could have been thwarted of “lying to the French”.

Touraine said 18 patients remain “between life and death”, including one child.

One local resident, Isabel, who declined to give her surname, said she did not boo but understood why tensions were running high.
