In the attack almost five years ago, 86 people were killed, including three Germans. The Islamic State terrorist militia took responsibility for the attack.
KLess than five years after the devastating truck attack in Nice, southern France, which left 86 dead, an alleged accomplice of the assassin was arrested in Italy. The 28-year-old Albanian man is suspected of being an accomplice, the Italian police said on Thursday night. Italian media reported that he should have sold weapons to the assassin. The person wanted with a European arrest warrant was arrested near the city of Caserta north of Naples.
On July 14, 2016, the French national holiday, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel raced into a crowd with a truck on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. Ultimately, there were 86 fatalities and more than 200 people were injured. Three Germans were among the dead in the attack. The violent perpetrator was shot after the fact. The terrorist militia Islamic State claimed the act for itself.
Second attack last year
The southern French port city was only the scene of a suspected Islamist attack at the end of October: an attacker killed three people in a church and was then seriously injured by police officers. Well over 250 people have died in attacks in France in recent years.
