Another Terror Attack in France kills 84 on Bastille Day

Nice, France -- At least 84 people were killed after a truck plowed into a crowd celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, in a terrorist attack described as the "worst catastrophe" in the French Riviera's history. The driver was killed by police after the truck barreled down the famed Promenade des Anglais seafront, sending hundreds of terrified people fleeing and leaving bodies everywhere. The driver had fired a pistol several times before being shot dead by police, authorities said. Identity papers belonging to a 31-year-old French-Tunisian citizen were reportedly found inside the 19-ton truck. French president Francois Hollande said France had been hit by a terrorist attack on its national day, "the 14th of July, the symbol of freedom". "Nice is now hit. It's all of France which is under the threat of Islamic terrorism," he said. "In these circumstances, we must show absolute vigilance." Reports confirm many children are among the 84 victims, including 2 American's, a father and his son. "I have decided that the state of emergency, which was to end on the 26th on July, will be extended by three months," Mr Hollande said, referring to a measure introduced after last year's series of coordinated attacks in Paris.
