Mass-murderer in Nice may have had helpers

Jul 21, 2016News

French officials  now say that Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, the Tunisian who murdered 84 people in Nice, had accomplices in preparing his assault.

The Wall Street Journal reports:

“The new evidence appears to contradict claims made by top French officials immediately after the rampage that Lahouaiej Bouhlel was radicalized in a matter of weeks, leaving security services little chance of stopping him when he plowed through throngs of revelers on Bastille Day with a 21-ton truck.

Instead, prosecutors, now say,  Lahouaiej Bouhlel may have done surveillance on his target a year before he acted and communicated more than a thousand times with suspected accomplices, the paper reported.
