Mass-murderer in Nice may have had helpers

Jul 21, 2016 | News

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.
