On Saturday, ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack in Nice where a truck rammed into a gathering of people celebrating Bastille day, killing 84 and injuring hundreds, ISIS-run Amaq news agency reports.
Amaq claimed the Nice attacker responded to the call to attack countries of the anti-ISIS coalition, reports Conflict News.
This may mean that he had no accomplices and that it was a lone wolf attack.
The police had reportedly arrested three people after raiding a small apartment at Rue Miollis but were clueless about whether the attacker was affiliated to ISIS.
The arrests concerned the attacker’s “close entourage”, sources said, and were made in two different areas of Nice.
The driver of the truck was earlier reported to be a 31-year-old Franco-Tunisian man.
