Three students on a European study program — an American, Ukrainian and Estonian — are still missing following last week’s truck attack on the French city of Nice.
A communications officer at the Nice branch of the European Innovation Academy, Annie Seneard, tells The Associated Press on Sunday that among the missing is 20-year-old Nicolas Leslie, who was doing a stint at the EIA from the University of California at Berkeley.
He was among dozens of Berkeley students on the program, and fellow students have posted fliers in Nice trying to find him.
The other program participants still unaccounted for are 22-year-old Canada-based Ukrainian national Misha Bazelevsky and 21-year-old Estonian Rickard Kruusberg, Seneard says.
A fourth missing student from the academy, 22-year-old Estonian Hans Joosep Lahe has been located.
Meanwhile an online forum of French Jews has removed its claim that 15 members of the Nice Jewish community are among the 84 killed.
The forum does not give a reason for the change.

We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone. If you value work like this, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to keep real human reporting like this going.
