TWO NEW SUSPECTS have been detained in the investigation into the Bastille Day attack in Nice that killed more than 80 people.
The Paris prosecutor’s office said that two men have been in custody since yesterday in southern France. The prosecutor’s office would not elaborate on what the men are suspected of.
Five people were already jailed on preliminary terrorism charges linked to the 14 July truck rampage by Tunisian driver Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, accused of helping him obtain a pistol and other support.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility. French authorities say Bouhlel was inspired by the extremist group’s propaganda, but have uncovered no evidence that IS orchestrated the attack.
The new arrests come amid political scandal over limited police presence in Nice the night of the bloodshed.

@John D Doe: I’m more of a dog person TBH John.
@Donna Fallon: BS, I read it 5 times because it referred to many places I knew as a child. It’s very hard going at times but I loved the way Joyce painted old Dublin, unfortunately many places have disappeared or are unrecognisable nowadays.
I could have sworn he was buried in Paris.
