Nice kämpar med att få tillbaka turister efter dådet

On the evening of 14 July 2016, 85 people were killed and 307 injured when a 19 tonne cargo truck was deliberately driven into crowds celebrating Bastille Day on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France. The driver was Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, a Tunisian resident of France. The attack ended following an exchange of gunfire, during which Lahouaiej-Bouhlel was shot and killed by police. Within hours of the attack, the French government extended the state of emergency, declared following the Paris attacks, for another three months, and announced an intensification of the French military attacks on ISIL in Syria and Iraq. Later on 15 July, they announced three days of national mourning starting 16 July. On 16 July, thousands of extra police and soldiers were deployed while the government called on citizens to join the reserve forces. Also on 16 July, both Amaq News Agency and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant's (ISIL's) official al-Bayan radio station claimed the attack was executed in response to ISIL's calls to attack citizens of nations fighting them. The next day, Agence France-Presse described the Nice attack as the third major Islamist terrorist attack in France since the beginning of 2015, following the Île-de-France attacks in January of that year and the Paris attacks in November 2015. On 21 July, Paris prosecutor François Molins said that Lahouaiej-Bouhlel planned the attack for months and had help from accomplices. As of 1 August 2016, six suspects had been taken in custody on charges of "terror offences" related to the attack.
