A day after a terrorist (click here) mowed down dozens of people celebrating Bastille Day in the coastal French city of Nice, investigators Friday dug into the life of the man they say was the killer: A 31-year-old delivery driver and Nice resident who was born in Tunisia.
Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhel drove a rented, refrigerated truck into crowds along a roughly 2-kilometer stretch of Promenade des Anglais along Nice's Mediterranean beachfront Thursday night, killing 84 people -- including 10 children and adolescents -- and injuring 202 others, French prosecutor François Molins said Friday.
The attack ended when police shot into the truck, killing the assailant. Of the injured, 52 were in critical condition, and 25 were in a coma Friday afternoon, Molins said.
Staff at the Lenval Hospital in Nice said 28 children remained hospitalized.
The media was wrong about this event in France.
McVeigh killed more people. McVeigh was also not in the vehicle when it blew up.
