Three days after the attack that left 84 dead on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice Thursday, investigators are continuing their investigative work. By Friday, the driver’s identity had been established through the documents found in the vehicle: the killer is a Tunisian national named Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, a delivery driver for 31 years the identity confirmed by scientific testing. Since then, a question arises: is it the isolated act of an unbalanced or command of the organization Islamic state, which claimed responsibility for the bombing Saturday? Europe 1 reported on the survey.
According to our information broadcast Sunday, Mohamed Mahouaiej-Bouhlel have premeditated his actions, since he spotted the scene with his truck on 12 and 13 July. On the recordings of video surveillance cameras, you can see the wheel of his truck observing the scene very carefully. For investigators, these elements confirm that it is a premeditated act by Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel.
Described as a violent man, impulsive, that did his ex-wife and children and not attending mosques, though he had strangely stopped drinking alcohol there two weeks. The police anti-terrorism therefore always seek to understand how the killer was able to switch so quickly in radical Islam without arousing the attention of the intelligence services.
Born near Sousse, the man held a residence permit and lived in Nice. It was already known to the police for petty crime cases of domestic violence, theft and violence with weapons. Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel was sentenced again by the Nice Criminal Court to six months suspended imprisonment, following an altercation after a traffic accident. He was put on probation earlier this year, but the measure had ended in March. However, he was “totally unknown” intelligence. He has never been stuck for radicalization nor the subject of any report, said the public prosecutor of Paris François Molins, late Friday afternoon, at a press conference.
Saturday, a police source said that among the five people in custody, some had mentioned a “recent shift towards radical Islam” of the Tunisian 31 years. According to Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, who spoke Saturday morning of a “new type of attack,” Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel “seems to have radicalized very quickly.” The procedure of the attack on delivery driver – a speeding truck on a crowd at a rapid pace – “corresponds exactly to call the killings of these terrorist organizations, especially as they prescribe in their journals or videos,” said the prosecutor Friday. The investigation will thus determine whether the killer was “possible links with Islamist terrorist criminal organizations” said Francois Molins. According to Le Monde , the Nice killer would include some common knowledge with the Nice Omar Diaby, “famous” recruiter for jihad.
Since Friday, inquiries are increasing as part of the investigation. Five people, including the ex-wife of Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, were first arrested Friday and Saturday. Among them, three figures of local banditry, he had contacted in the hours before the killing. One would also confirmed its recent radicalization during his hearing. Sunday, two further arrests have been made.
The claim is “quite true,” insists Didier François, reporter for Europe 1. She has also been conducted on the usual channel of the Islamic state, the official news agency of EI, through which Brussels bombings, and more recently in France, the murder of the couple of policemen in Magnanville, have already been claimed. It is also the site of QAMA that the killing of Orlando, the United States, has been claimed. “We are therefore well against the will of the organization to take on the killing of Nice. Kinda like a paternity recognition. the organization attributes the act, as it believes that the mode of action used to call is launched general, and therefore assumes responsibility, “says Didier François, who believes that the we are faced with a claim “legitimate” but “minimum level”. Minimum level because it can also be described as opportunistic, the question remains pending in any case.
Sunday, RMC has also published the first extracts of the minutes of the officers killed the truck driver . They confirm that he has opened fire on the police, forcing the peacekeepers to fire, hidden behind a palm tree: I shot to neutralize it, I pulled until it does not move, “said one of them
If, for the moment, the list of victims of the bombing of Nice is still incomplete. – only about twenty names has was unveiled. – Juliette Méadel, the Secretary of State for victim assistance, warned it would still wait because identification is a step that will take several days, however, she said that the State indemnify the first victims by the end of next week.
