A French court orders prison terms for eight suspects charged in the harrowing 2016 terror attack in Nice, where a suspected Islamist attacker plowed his truck into a crowd celebrating the July 14 national holiday.
Two men are given the most severe sentences of 18 years behind bars for helping Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, a 31-year-old Tunisian resident, prepare an attack that killed 86 people and injured over 450 in a four-minute rampage on a seaside embankment in the southern city before being shot dead by police.
