Killer In Nice Sent SMS About Weapons Just Before Attack

(AFP) – The Tunisian who rammed a truck into Bastille Day crowds in Nice, killing 84 people, sent a text message just before the attack discussing the supply of weapons, a source close to the investigation said Sunday.

In the message, the 31-year-old driver “expresses satisfaction at having obtained a 7.65mm pistol and discusses the supply of other weapons”, the source said.
