French officials have confirmed that they are
investigasting a terrorist attack and there are
unconfirmed reports that there are gunmen on
the loose in the city. French TV channel iTele
tonight reported that a gunman "holed up in a
nice restaurant downtown" had been
"neutralized" by police.
The channel said it is not believed the man had
taken any hostages during the incident.
On the promenade it is thought that police
officers desperately fired on the truck as it was
"deliberately driven" for more than 100 metres
at people leaving a major bank holiday fireworks
celebration.
Witnesses said the truck picked up speed and
"rammed" the crowd where it was thickest at
more than 30mph, and images emerged of the
cab riddled with bullets. One said he saw the
driver emerge with a gun after the truck came to
a halt and begin shooting at the fleeing crowd.
Police have identified the driver, who was killed
during the incident, and it is believed to have
been a man who was known to security services.
Separate reports emerged tonight that police
fear four different trucks are involved, raising
fears of a massive organised terror attack.
Crowds had packed out the city's main
promenade to watch a fireworks display marking
Bastille Day, a major public holiday in France,
and were beginning to head home when the
lorry hit.
One witness reported horrific scenes with "dead
bodies everywhere" and distressing video footage
emerged of people fleeing the Promenade des
Anglais, in the southern French city, in terror.
And pictures posted on social media, far too
graphic to publish, showed bodies strewn across
the road in a scene of total devastation. The
world-famous promenade, next to Nice's
stunning sandy beach, is one of France's top
tourist spots.

Op e don reach 60? I thought i just saw 30 on Cnn some minutes ago

We warned them not to accept those fake refugees...I fear for Europe it has been infiltrated by terrorist

Europe really needs to watch it. their liberal attitude towards moslem migrants from the middle east is surely hitting them hard

This is what happens when you have compassion on sadists. They don't get why you're happy and so they make sure they make you cry

After losing euro 2016 final then this

jesu
may their souls rest wherever It wants to rest

meanwhile this terrorism is getting out of hand
can't the us govt just nuke this people and end all of this

Really trying times indeed. Just when they are yet to recover from d attack on Paris. It is in such a situation as this Trump's radical approach will hold sway. These guyz got no chill.

Islam is totally a peaceful religion with progressive views towards equality, women's rights, and gay rights. It's not like the Koran calls for all non Muslims to be killed, enslaved, or forced to pay a tax. Muslim countries around the world are know as great tourist destinations completely safe for foreigners of all faiths to travel to. Also if you decide to leave Islam don't worry. It's not like the religion calls for apostates to be stoned to death or anything. #Religionofpeace - CNN

Good for France. They never see anything.

By all means please, continue to let the Muslim immigrants in. Great means of social and cultural integration. Also checks population explosion.

TB Joshua prophecy comes to mind.....

hmmmmmm, it is well

Yeah, it's a known fact that not all Muslims are terrorists,...... But all terrorists are Muslims.

Will this insanity ever end?
By the way I won't be surprised if PMB extends his condolences to France but the over eighty Nigerians killed in Benue a few days ago haven't received such.

end time truck

This is one of injuries Europe brought upon itself with Britain and America spearheading. Now France is bearing mont of the brunt.
With refugees pouring into Europe now, it won't be long b4 they carry an attack of 9/11 proportions. God help them.

Its 77pple now dat hve bn confirmed dead! I just fEel sori for france! I won't be suprise if its confirmed a muslim group terror attack!

Why is France the main target of Islam extremist. That country is too beautiful to be subjected to incessant attacks like this.

I am not being insensitive. But I am vexed cuz these peeps didn't put up breaking news during Boko Haraam attack.

I even decided to visit their most popular blog.

Even visited their french version of nairaland...

So if I pass, make uuna no vex.

On a light note, una see Y UK no fit stay for una Union.. #Team Brexit

To thinking the events of "Bastille day", the movie, would actual remain a movie. The reality came out worse.
Truth is these terror attacks won't abate any time soon. For those thinking it's because of the weak immigration policies of these countries, care to note that most of these terror attacks are being carried out by citizens who have long resided in the countries before the current immigration influx.
These countries are being targeted for their roles in the middle east unrest and subsequent displacement of the various ethnic militias in such countries, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Egypt, thanks to NATO and her allied nations.

France, your wailing should be directed at Bush, Blair, and Obama.
Welcome to the reality. My heartfelt condolences go out to the families of the deceased, getting caught up in a struggle that they knew nothing about

am seeing 80 people..Religion of peace are not through dealing with France( what a truck)..May God protect us

Both French TV station BFM and local newspaper Nice-Matin are reporting that the driver is a 31-year-old with dual French-Tunisian nationality.

BFM is quoting a police source via Agence France-Presse who said that an ID card was found inside the truck. Reports say the man was a Nice resident.

As you can see, this is no immigrant, at least not from recent, but a French national

France needs tough immigration laws that rigorously screen migrants especially those from the middle east. I don't know why they never support Assad for his fight against ISIS but instead they keep arming the 'opposition'. This same opposition are the people killing you. May God protect us from anybody planning evil against us. Amen. I condole with France people, and people all over the world affected by terror.

Now 77 according to dailymail, killing everywhere. RIP to the dead.

O

Killing no dey tire some people?
Death here death there


What,ll these france DGSE doing sef?
France immigration processes need more scrutiny
