Nice Attack French Tunisian

French president Emmanuel Macron vowed his country would stand firm against religious extremists after a knife-wielding man killed three people at a church, in the country's second attack blamed on Islamist terrorism this month.

The man suspected of killing three people at a church in the southern French city of Nice on Thursday is a 21-year-old Tunisian who arrived in Europe just a few weeks ago, sources close to the inquiry said.

The Islamic State on Saturday claimed responsibility for an attack that killed 84 in this coastal French city, according to the organization's news agency, as France's top cop announced for the first time that investigators think the attacker had been "radicalized."

Tunisian attacker Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel visited the Nice promenade with his rented truck on two days before he rammed the vehicle into a crowd, killing 84, a source close to the investigation said.

ISIS claimed on Saturday that the Tunisian man who barreled his truck into a crowd in the French resort city of Nice was a "soldier" of ISIS. It's the first claim of responsibility for an attack that claimed 84 lives at a July 14 fireworks display for France's national holiday.

French authorities were trying to determine on Friday whether a Tunisian who killed at least 84 people by ploughing a truck into Bastille Day crowds had acted alone or with accomplices, but said the attack bore the hallmarks of Islamist terrorists.

At least three Tunisians and three Algerians were among the 84 people killed when a Tunisian-born man ploughed a truck into crowds in the French resort of Nice, officials said on Friday.
