Estranged wife of Nice truck attacker freed
A French official in the Paris prosecutor’s office says the estranged wife of delivery man Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel — who killed 84 people on a Thursday night rampage in Nice — has been released from custody.
The woman is the mother of Bouhlel’s three children, and was in the process of divorcing him.
She was arrested Friday, a day after the 31-year-old Tunisian plowed through revelers out to see the Bastille Day fireworks on Nice’s famed seaside boulevard.
Investigators hunting for possible accomplices to Bouhlel arrested two people Sunday. In total, 6 people remain in custody relating to the attack that IS has claimed.
