Nice killer had help and accomplices, says French prosecutor

Tunisian truck killer Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel was helped to prepare his Bastille Day attack by five suspects who are now in custody, a French prosecutor says

Francois Molins says the four men and a woman were “involved in the preparation” of the attack in the French Riviera resort of Nice, which had been planned months in advance.

More than 400 investigators have been poring over evidence since the July 14 attack in which Bouhlel rammed a truck into crowds on the Nice promenade, leaving 84 dead and over 300 injured.
