Many Nice killed still unidentified

French authorities say they still haven’t identified 16 of those killed and one person wounded in the Bastille Day truck attack in Nice.

The government says 84 people were killed and 202 injured in the attack Thursday night, including many tourists from multiple countries.

An official with a special victims’ center in Nice tells reporters that 16 bodies remain unidentified, and forensic experts are working with DNA samples to determine their identities. The official does not give his name.

Unconfirmed reports indicate up to 15 of the victims may have been members of Nice’s Jewish community.

Health Minister Marisol Touraine says one hospitalized person remains unidentified.

Many family members have been frustrated by a lack of information about their missing loved ones.
