Family of Nice Church Killings Suspect Demand the Video Footage of Attack
2020-11-02
[BREITBART] A third suspect is in French custody Saturday in connection with an Islamic bully boy knife attack that killed three people in a Nice church, as the distraught family of the suspected Tunisian assailant asked to see video footage of what happened.

Investigators in La Belle France, Tunisia and Italia are trying to determine the motive of chief suspect Ibrahim Issaoui,
... elsewhere spelt Brahim Issaoui, Brahim Aouissaoui, and Brahim Aoussaoui..
and whether he acted alone and whether he premeditated Thursday’s attack on the Notre Dame Basilica.

Authorities have labelled the attack, which took place amid growing tensions around cartoons published by a French newspaper mocking the Prophet Muhammad, an act of Islamist terrorism.

Issaoui, who transited through Italia last month en route to La Belle France, is at death's door in a French hospital after being maimed by police as they arrested him.

A 35-year-old man who had met with Issaoui in Nice was arrested overnight, a judicial official said Saturday. A 47-year-old man who had met with Issaoui the night before the attack was already in jug, bringing the number of detained suspects to three. Their connection to the attack remains unclear.

A previously unknown Tunisian bully boy group grabbed credit for the attack, and Tunisian and French authorities are investigating whether the claim is legitimate.


Six in custody over Nice church attack in France
[AlAhram] Two more men were arrested in connection with a knife attack that left three dead at a church in Nice, bringing the number of people in custody to six as investigators look at the suspected assailant's last known contacts

Two more men were arrested in connection with a knife attack that left three dead at a church in Nice, bringing the number of people in custody to six as investigators look at the suspected assailant’s last known contacts, a French police source said.

The latest arrests took place on Saturday, the source said.

An assailant shouting “Allahu Akbar” (God is Greatest) beheaded a woman and killed two other people in a church in Nice on Thursday, in France’s second deadly knife attack in two weeks with a suspected Islamist motive.

The suspected attacker, a 21-year-old from Tunisia, was shot by police and is now in critical condition in a hospital.

The latest arrests in the case involved two men from the town of Grasse, near the southern French coast close to Nice, BFM TV reported.

France’s chief anti-terrorism prosecutor has said the man suspected of carrying out the Nice attack had arrived in Europe on Sept. 20 in Lampedusa, the Italian island off Tunisia.

Investigators in Italy are also stepping up enquiries about the suspected assailant’s movements and contacts on the island of Sicily. They believe he may have spent time there after going from Lampedusa to Bari in early October on a ship used to quarantine migrants, judicial sources said.

In Bari, he is believed to have been handed an expulsion order obliging him to leave Italy within a week, the judicial sources said. Investigators are looking into the possibility the suspected attacker stayed in the Sicilian town of Alcamo for a 10 day period, the sources added.
