Attack suspect was resident of Nice

The man suspected of killing at least 84 people in Nice was a resident of the city, Le Monde reports.

His name has not yet been publicly reported, but appears on identity documents found in the cab of the truck.

The man, who fired a 7.65 pistol at police when they tried to stop the attack, was reportedly born in Tunisia in 1985 and had a residence permit in France.

He was shot dead by two members of the special forces after ploughing through crowds for two kilometres.
