The scumbag terrorist who killed 84 people in the city of Nice, France yesterday by plowing his truck into a huge crowd of people was a 31-year-old Muslim named Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel. As we reported early yesterday, he was originally from Tunisia.
According to reports, he shouted Allahu Akbar before the French police killed him.
Via New York Post:
Local newspaper Nice Matin identified the driver as Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel.
Authorities earlier identified the attacker as a 31-year-old French-Tunisian who was known to authorities. He had fired a gun several times and yelled “Allahu Akbar!” (Arabic for “God is great!”) before cops shot him dead.
Police sources said he had been identified from papers found in the white truck.
Here’s more from the UK Mirror:
He was known to police in connection with common law crimes such as theft and violence.
Investigating sources said his last appearance in court was as recently as March, when he was found guilty of violent conduct.
As reported by Nice Matin, he worked as a delivery driver.
His home was searched by police this morning and a number of his relatives are now being spoken to by police.
The attacker was not known to the intelligence services, suggesting he has no previous background in terrorism offences.
UPDATED: I asked for Walid Shoebat’s help with the photo, and the current photo is the one he says belongs to the Nice terrorist. As you can see, it matches the black and white photo almost exactly.
