Paris (AFP) - French truck killer Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel was helped to prepare his Bastille Day attack by five suspects who are now in custody, prosecutor Francois Molins said Thursday.

Molins said the four men and a women were "involved in the preparation" of the attack, which had been planned months in advance.

More than 400 investigators have been poring over evidence since the July 14 attack in which Bouhlel rammed a truck into crowds on the Nice promenade, leaving 84 dead and over 300 injured.

Molins said that one of the suspects had filmed the scene of the crime the day after the carnage, as it crawled with police and journalists.

1. I was told it was the act of a lone madman with mental issues

Nothing else could be associated with it. Certainly no groups of people

2. That's only for the Dylann Roof's and Jim Adkisson's of the world.

5. If Dylann Roof had worked with other people,

they would have been found and charged too. Don't forget Tim McVeigh wasn't the only one charged for Oklahoma City.

6. Yes, but children and government offices were bombed

not 'just' a few black folks.

13. Who else did Roof work with?

7. One friend of Dylann Roof's was later charged after investigators

found proof that he had known the intent was serious, or something like that.
Looked for a good link not behind paywall, this is the first one I found that kind of covers it.

We do charge these things, you know. Except for the Orlando guy's wife, who knew.

3. we were lied to again.

4. Many will deny any connections no matter what the truth

As long as he isn't Christian, he must be a lone wolf.

8. There's been clear evidence that this was Islamic terrorism for almost a week.

The uncle (in Tunisia) told the press that he knew who had "radicalised" him. He said it was an Algerian in Nice - he said he had heard that from other family in Nice.

The investigators found that in the two weeks before the killing, he had been looking up relevant suras (passages from the Koran) online.

There were the messages about material, etc. Then the money and so forth.

There's been full coverage in the French newspapers over this - I've been reading Le Figaro every other day since it happened, and they have gone over all of it.

Here's a Houston Chronicles article that has some of this in English:

9. Of course

This was obvious from the beginning.

[smirkymonkey]

10. I'm shocked!

[melman]

11. Ten replies

and not a peep from the 'lone wolf' crowd. That's because they don't really care about the truth.

12. Kicking this for them... nt
