Mass murder in Nice took place on the evening of 14 July 2016 when Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, a Tunisian resident of France,[1][2] deliberately drove a 19-tonne cargo truck into a crowd celebrating Bastille Day on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, killing 84 people and injuring hundreds more.[3] He was shot and killed by police. The incident was described as the third major terrorist attack in France since January 2015, following the Charlie Hebdo and Île-de-France attacks on 7–9 January 2015 and the Paris attacks on 13 November 2015.[4]
On 16 July 2016, the IS-run media outlet Aamaq cited a "security source" as saying the attacker "carried out the operation in response to calls to target the citizens of coalition countries fighting the Islamic State."[5]
