The Tunisian man who plowed his truck through crowds in Nice had researched the route ahead of the attack that killed at least 84 people and injured scores of others as they were celebrating Bastille Day, according to French media reports.
Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, 31, was killed by police after ramming his truck through crowds of people who were walking along Nice's seafront promenade after a holiday fireworks display Thursday night.
Six unidentified people have been detained in connection with the killings as of Sunday, authorities said. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but it's unclear whether Bouhlel had concrete links to the group.
CCTV footage from the days beforehand show Bouhlel driving through the area in his 19-ton truck, carefully studying the scene, Europe 1 radio reported. The footage shows Bouhlel driving slowly near Nice's Promenade des Anglais early last week.

Another duh....
I’m not sure about Europe’s security forces.
NO WAY this happens in NYC. NO WAY.
Cement Trucks and heavy vehicles block all streets during celebrations like this.
Snipers at the ready too.
They’re the keystone cops over there.
“.....The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but it’s unclear whether Bouhlel had concrete links to the group.”
GEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZ! They take the credit! Isn’t that clear enough!? Let’s make a mountain out of a mole hill. Let’s try to make some spin that Islam isn’t involved somehow. SHEESH!
We need to BAN GUNS, dammit. We need to end EASY ACCESS to guns!!!
Wait... what?
While we morn our police, let us not forget this massacre in the name of Islam. They have much in common. The very public servants who fight for our safety are also targets of ISIS. I guess it shows that we are all targets, it’s just a matter of degree.
Lulling the Western sheep for the Islamic wolves is aiding the enemy. [You know, the "aid and comfort" thingee]
“Six unidentified people have been detained in connection with the killings as of Sunday, authorities said.”
What does this mean? I thought we were told this was another “lone wolf” affair.
