Three-Day National Mourning Declared in France After Nice Attack
08:34 GMT 15.07.2016 (Updated: 10:12 GMT 15.07.2016) French President Francois Hollande declared three days of national mourning after deadly truck attack in Nice on Thursday's night.
"The president decided to declare a period of national mourning for the 16, 17 and 18 of July in commemoration of the victims," Prime Minister Manuel Valls told reporters after a meeting at the Élysée Palace.
"The flags will be flown at half mast on our public buildings today," he added.
Late on Thursday evening, a
heavy truck hit a crowd celebrating the Bastille Day in Nice, killing 84 and injuring dozens more.
The driver was shot dead by police. According to ID documents found inside the truck, he was a 31-year-old man who was a resident of Nice of Tunisian origin. It is unclear whether he had any accomplices.
