Valin Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Reuters: NICE, France | By Richard Lough and Johnny Cotton July 16 2016 Islamic State claimed responsibility on Saturday for the truck attack that killed at least 84 people celebrating Bastille Day in the French city of Nice and police arrested three more people there in connection with the seafront carnage. "The person who carried out the operation in Nice, France, to run down people was one of the soldiers of Islamic State," the Amaq news agency affiliated with the militant Islamist group said on its Telegram account. "He carried out the operation in response to calls to target nationals of states that are part of the coalition fighting Islamic State." (Snip) Saturday's arrests concerned his "close entourage", police sources said. Two other people, including the attacker's wife, had already been detained. Bouhlel had been in France for 10 years and lived locally. (Snip) Bouhlel was known to police for petty crimes but was not on a watch list of suspected militants. He had one criminal conviction for road rage, having been sentenced to probation three months ago for throwing a wooden pallet at another driver. Edwin Bakker, Professor at the Centre for Terrorism and Counterterrorism at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, said Islamic State's claim did not necessarily point to any formal link.

Valin Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Bouhlel Had Help?John HinderakerJuly 17, 2016rench police have arrested seven people in connection with Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel’s terrorist attack in Nice, six of whom are reportedly still in custody. It has emerged that Bouhlel sent a series of texts to accomplices, or at a minimum to people who knew what he intended to do. The texts said things like “Bring more weapons. Bringing in 5,” and “It’s good. I have the equipment,” according to French television. The authorities are also investigating Bouhlel’s associates in Tunisia, where he grew up before moving to France as a young man. Bouhlel reportedly was “thrilled” by the 2015 Islamic terrorist attack at Sousse, where 38 tourists were murdered on the beach, and authorities are looking into whether Bouhlel’s friends were among those who assisted Seifiddine Rezgui Yacoubi, the electrical engineering student–what else?–who carried out the Sousse massacre. It also appears that Bouhlel’s brother may be a radical, if multiple selfies with shotguns are any indication. One of Mohamed’s brothers–I am not sure whether it is the same one–says that Mohamed had a considerable sum of money, approximately $150,000 in the bank “through selling phones.” If Mohamed really did have that sort of cash on hand, the police no doubt will be interested in where it came from.
