Bouhlel zigzagged the white box truck through the crowds, witnesses said, then opened fire on survivors before being shot dead by police. French President François Hollande said at least 50 people remained in critical condition, hanging between “life and death.”

Molins said 10 children were among the dead and that a total of 202 people were injured in the attack. Of those in critical condition, he said, 25 were comatose.

NICE, France — A Tunisian-born émigré with a record of petty crime was behind the wheel of a truck that barreled into Bastille Day revelers and claimed at least 84 lives over a mile-long path of horror, a French prosecutor said Friday, as investigators explored possible links to Islamist militant networks.

The driver was identified as 31-year-old Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, whose identity documents, cellphone and bank card were found inside the 19-ton truck used in Thursday’s carnage along a palm-lined French Riviera corniche in Nice, according to Paris Prosecutor François Molins, who said that 10 children are among the dead and that 202 were injured, many seriously.

Molins said that Bouhlel had been connected to assault and theft since 2010, but that he had no apparent previous links to extremism and was “entirely unknown” to anti-terror units.

But the probe shifted quickly to determine whether Bouhlel acted alone, or if he had connections and a support network that could be plotting further violence. Bouhlel’s ex-wife had been detained as part of the investigation, the prosecutor said.

The attack has not yet been formally linked to international terrorist networks, Molins said, but it “fits very well in the context of the cause made by the terrorist organizations in various videos and messages.”

Had people been armed right there at the start of this jihadi attack, once again, the carnage would not have happened.

The truck used in the attack was rented Monday from the Via Location rental agency just outside Nice, according to a woman at the agency who answered the phone Friday but said she was not authorized to give her name. She said the French Interior Ministry had asked the agency not to share further information with the investigation underway.

When will the Obamanation insist that all trucks be confiscated? Nobody needs a truck that big? That’s clearly a truck of war? Anything?

Saw WH press conference scheduled for “3:10pm” Okay, I had to look that up knowing how Mussies like to play with numbers. Islam started in the 7th century so....

620 AD: Buraq and the Night Journey. Muhammad reports that he had been carried to Jerusalem and then to Paradise on a mythological flying steed named Buraq,[7] and has met the other prophets. Over the sixth heaven, he meets Moses who weeps because there would be more Muslims in heaven than Jews.[

I recently read a Stephen King book called “Mr. Mercedes” about an evil guy that kills 8 people and injures another dozen in a crowd by running over them with a car.

At the time, I thought it might be an exaggeration that would so easily kill and injur so many people with a vehicle!
