The Nice Attack and the Wider Threat to France
(Reuters) Peter Apps - Mainland Europe, and France in particular, is facing a vicious, repeated string of attacks that are hard to stop. In France, well over 200 civilians have been killed since January 2015. The attack in Nice appears to have been at least the fourth politically or militant-inspired "vehicular assault" in France since 2014. Two attacks took place with motor vehicles in December 2014 in Nantes and Dijon, killing one person and injuring more than 20. In January this year, an attacker rammed four French soldiers who were guarding a mosque in Valence.
