France’s Interior Minister says investigators have no evidence so far that the truck driver who killed 84 people in Nice had links to “terrorist networks.”
Bernard Cazeneuve said on Monday on RTl radio that while the ISIS group has claimed responsibility for the Bastille Day attack, the driver may have been motivated by ISIS messages but not necessarily coordinating with a larger network.
Cazeneuve says: “These links for now have not been established by the investigation.”
Authorities say Mohamed lahouaiej Bouhlel, a Tunisian living in Nice, had become recently and rapidly radicalised.
