11 arrested in France over Nice truck massacre
|
[IsraelTimes] Police believe suspects helped arm Islamist radical who killed more than 80 people in Bastille Day terror attack.

Please don't kill me!
11 people suspected of helping to arm the Islamist radical who crushed 86 people to death with a truck in Nice, sources close to the investigation said.
Ten suspects, including one or more Albanians, were arrested in various parts of Nice and another was detained in the western city of Nantes, the sources said.
The arrests come five months after Tunisian bad boy Mohammed Lahouaiej Bouhlel plowed a 19-ton truck into a crowd on the Nice seafront.
The 11 people arrested Monday are believed to have been in contact with three people, including two Albanians, arrested in July and charged with supplying Bouhlel with an assault rifle and a pistol.
Bouhlel used the pistol in a firefight with police who shot him dead at the scene, ending his bloody rampage.
"They (the 11) did not necessarily know about the attack but they are part of a criminal milieu involved in arms smuggling," a source said, adding that the person arrested in Nantes had previously lived in Nice.
Under La Belle France’s anti-terror laws, they can be held for four days before being brought before a magistrate to face charges or being released.
Six people have been charged so far over alleged links to the 31-year-old killer, but Sherlocks have yet to prove that any of them knew what he was planning.
The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group moved quickly after the attack to claim Bouhlel as one of its followers.
The massacre on the palm-fringed Promenade des Anglais was the latest in a series of jihadist attacks that have rocked La Belle France over the past two years.
The attacks have hardened attitudes on security and immigration, fueling the rise of the far-right ahead of next year’s presidential election.
