- The truck broke through a barricade on Nice’s Promenade des Anglais at around 10:30 p.m. local time and plowed into the crowd of people celebrating the Bastille Day. The driver was able to drive 2 kilometers through the crowd before he was neutralized.
- The police exchanged fire with the driver.
- Following the attack, weapons and grenades were found in the truck.The attacker’s ID was also found there. According to French newspaper Nice Matin, the attacker was a 31-year-old man of Tunisian origin.
- The ISIS terrorist group has not officially claimed responsibility for the attack but, according to reports, it is a likely suspect. Anti-terror investigation is ongoing.
France’s President Francois Hollande addressed the public and said the attack was “terrorist in nature.” He said that France’s state of emergency has been extended for three months and soldiers would be deployed to support security forces. Hollande also called to reinforce air strikes against ISIS targets in Iraq and Syria.
We remember, France is going to send an aircraft carrier and additional military advisers to fight ISIS militants in Iraq.

They promised us heaven on earth if we recreated the Empire Babylon (which means to babble, because of so many different people groups forced under one roof) But instead of paradise, they now have hell. Welcome to hell french, none of you will get out alive. You reap what you sow. You sowed these seeds for 60 years, now spend the last 20 years of France reaping it day in and day out with no letup.

Instead of hindering Russian efforts, France should stop backing terrorists, “ils font du bon boulot”, according to France’s Defense Minister, just because they are against Assad, these guys deserve what they get.
