France arrests 8 over July truck attack that killed 86 in Nice
|
 [IsraelTimes] Tunisian and French suspects all linked to Mohammed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, who plowed vehicle through crowds on Bastille Day
French authorities said Tuesday that there have been eight new arrests in connection with the Bastille Day truck attack in Nice that left 86 people dead -- 10 of them children and teenagers -- and 434 injured.
All eight suspects were nabbed
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
in the Alpes-Maritimes region in the southeastern corner of La Belle France that includes Nice.
The Gay Paree prosecutor’s office said the suspects detained Monday were French and Tunisian and had links to the attacker, Mohammed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, who plowed a 19-ton truck down Nice’s Promenade des Anglais and into a crowd assembled for a July 14 fireworks display.
The 31-year-old father of three was rubbed out by police after a firefight. French authorities said the terrorist became radicalized "very quickly," with some of his family and friends saying that he had smoked, drank and never gone to the mosque.
While he had a record of being a petty criminal, Lahouaiej-Bouhlel had not appeared on the radar of intelligence services for links to radical Islam.
At least five people already face preliminary terrorism charges in the attack, and are accused of helping Lahouaiej-Bouhlel obtain a pistol and providing other support. It was not immediately clear what role is suspected for the men arrested this week.
"They are all men, of French and Tunisian nationality," an investigation source said.
The men were placed in durance vile
Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw!
in Nice and in the neighboring towns of Saint-Laurent-du-Var and Cagnes-sur-Mer.
Six people have already been charged over the attack.
