French Official: Nice Attacker's ISIS Links Not Yet Established
(CNN) Euan McKirdy - The French Interior Minister has said that any link between the attacker who killed 84 people in a brazen attack on Bastille Day in the French Riviera city of Nice and ISIS has "yet to be established." Bernard Cazeneuve told an interviewer that while the attack was claimed by ISIS and was an attack "of a terrorist nature," it remained to be seen exactly how Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel was connected to the Iraq and Syria-based jihadist group. French authorities said six people are in custody in connection with the attacks.
