Update: News is reporting at least 73 murdered. Also, the truck was supposedly chock full of guns and grenades.
It might be worth considering that had just identified the real leader of the previous Paris Islamist terrorist attack.
(Fox News/AP) A large truck drove into a crowd of people who had gathered for a Bastille Day fireworks show Thursday in the southern French city of Nice, killing at least 30 people and injuring 100 more in an apparent terror attack, officials said.
A police official told France’s BFM TV that the driver of the truck was also dead. A witness, Wassim Bouhlel, told the Associated Press that he saw the truck drive into the crowd, then witnessed the driver emerge with a gun and start shooting.
“There was carnage on the road,” Bouhlel said. “Bodies everywhere.”
The Telegraph is quoting the Nice prosecutors office, which said that there are 60 dead, as are many other outlets. The UK Express is reporting the same. Also
French officials have confirmed that they are investigasting a terrorist attack and there are unconfirmed reports that there are gunmen on the loose in the city. French TV channel iTele tonight reported that a gunman “holed up in a nice restaurant downtown” had been “neutralized” by police.

Police have identified the driver, who was killed during the incident, and it is believed to have been a man who was known to security services. Separate reports emerged tonight that police fear four different trucks are involved, raising fears of a massive organised terror attack.
The police supposedly shot at the truck.

“The truck that drove into the crowd.”
There’s plenty of video, especially at the Express link, which is pretty horrific. Soldiers are also deployed all over the area.
What’s the over/under on the person or persons involved being someone who would yell Allahu Akbar?
