NICE, France — As new details emerged Friday about the Tunisian man who drove a truck through crowds celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, killing 84 people and wounding 202 others, French leaders extended a state of emergency imposed after the Nov. 13 Paris attacks and vowed to deploy thousands of police reservists on the streets.
French officials called it an undeniable act of terror, but no group claimed responsibility and it wasn't clear if the 31-year-old delivery driver blamed for the carnage had extremist ties.

Prayers for the victims and families and death to the terrorists.
25 on life support right now.
Wasn't he a Muslim?
it wasn’t clear if the 31-year-old delivery driver blamed for the carnage had extremist ties.
He’s Muslim and his name is Mohamed. I know we’re not supposed to speculate. We can only speculate if, say, a white man shoots people in a black church. Then we are allowed to speculate on his motives. But not in a case of a Muslim named Mohamed.
outlaw trucks!
It is perfectly clear to me. He was a Muslim.
If he was Muslim, that's all you need to know. Unless you're a craven politician or journalist.
“Initial reports that the truck was full of heavy weapons proved to be inaccurate as the weapons, including grenades later turned out to be fake.”

Especially automatic transmission assault trucks!
I think it’s safe to assume that after countless terrorist attacks by Muslims, that when a Muslim goes on a mass murdering rampage, that it’s all about Islamic extremism.
When a white man kills people in a black church, a stranger just walks right in and starts killing, everyone assumes it is about race and barring any kind of extreme mental disorder, it absolutely would be safe ro assume racism almost immediately.
However, Muslims can blow themselves up with abandon and the press will drag its feet on motive for days at a time until the initial shock and anger have wirn off.
Those French have the darnedest bad luck .... just coming off martial law and the same day they go back on it for another 90 days .... hmmmmm?
All those poor children who suffered, and the survivors who continue to suffer. As you say, prayers for the victims and families. Death is not enough payback to the terrorists, any and all caught terrorists should be boiled alive and tortured. Obama is releasing terrorists; Trump wants to catch or kill muslim terrorists. I'm with Trump.
The see-no-evil morons at the ny slimes wouldn’t know a terrorist if it bit them in the a**. Soon they will be calling for a banning of trucks...or ice cream. What fools.
I have not been reading news articles in full because they are too distressing - so indulge me - how is this associated with the hotel in where was it? Bataclan? Where people were horribly tortured?
Or is that a separate incident?
Crazy bastards will ALWAYS find a way to perpetrate their EVIL without guns being involved.
In Boston it was a pressure cooker bomb.
The biggest and baddest, the 911 perps who commandeered the planes used BOX CUTTERS.
These guys bow down 5 times a day to some spiritual entity, and then the world reaps destruction from that entity's influence.
Obama just said he wants to ban trucks.
