French police arrested five people in Nice early on Saturday in connection with the probe
into the Bastille day attack that killed at least 84 people when
a truck rammed into crowds in the Riviera city, police sources
said.
French authorities were still trying to determine whether the 31-year-old Franco-Tunisian driver of the vehicle had acted alone or with accomplices, and whether his motives were connected to radical Islam.
The arrests concerned the attacker’s “close entourage”, the sources said, and were made in two different areas of Nice.
About 40 elite police were seen raiding a small apartment at Rue Miollis where one individual was arrested.
