Awake Goy FOLLOW NICE ATTACK LIVE UPDATES
After police finally neutralized the attacker, they searched the truck and managed to find ID papers belonging Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, a 31-year-old French national who was born in Tunisia, sources told media.
Later heavily-armed police forces searched an apartment in a working-class neighborhood in Nice where the alleged attacker lived.
Police have found no weapons or explosives at the home of the assailant during the searches, iTele reported. Experts seized a computer for examination.
The neighbors described the attacker to Nice Matin newspaper as a solitary figure who even didn’t return greetings when their paths crossed. According to Sebastien who lived next to him, Bouhlel did not seem overly religious, was often dressed in shorts and sometimes wore work boots.
He was “a good-looking man who kept giving my two daughters the eye,” one female neighbor told the paper.
“He was divorcing or divorced with three kids,” another neighbor Mohammed said, adding that that Bouhlel had been very nervous recently.

According to the daily, Bouhlel must have arrived in France in the 2000s. A year after his arrival, he reportedly got into a traffic accident that led to his arrest. It was probably ‘a petty crime’ for which he was known to French authorities.
Several photos of the alleged attacker have been circulating on social media, but police are yet to confirm any of them.
The ex-wife of the attacker has been held for questioning, BFMTV reported.
Tunisia initially remained silent about the attacker and didn’t comment on his nationality. Later Tunisian security sources told Reuters that he came from the town of Msaken, north Tunisia, which he last visited four years ago. However, the attacker was not known to hold radical or Islamist views.
Also two French officials told AP on condition of anonymity that an ID matching the man described in media reports was found in the truck. Nice Matin newspaper also said that a bank card and a phone were found in the truck. It’s not yet clear if they belonged to the attacker or not.
At least 84 people were killed and a further 100 injured when a truck rammed into a crowd during celebrations in Nice, in what has been called in the city’s worst terror attack in history. Weapons and grenades were found in the vehicle following the rampage. The shooter was killed by police.
