French Prime Minister Manuel Valls has been booed as he attended a minute's silence in Nice, where an attacker in a lorry killed 84 people on Thursday.

Hecklers shouted out "murderer" and "resign" at him before the minute's silence, held across the nation.

Earlier, centre-right opposition leader Nicolas Sarkozy accused the government of failing to provide security.

Troops are to be redeployed to tourist spots as inquiries continue into the killer's possible links to jihadists.

1. You can always count on the far right to help unite :sarcasm:

BTW, since when is Sarkozy center-right? He has been pandering to the FN for years.

2. Is it clearer and clearer? Please elucidate as lucidly as possible.

3. Really? Because the lady I heard,

Seven people have been arrested in connection to the attack. Doesn't sound like the French authorities believe it's a one crazy guy thing.

4. This does not bode well

One purpose of such attacks is to elicit an overblown response that actually damages the victimized country, France in this case.

ISIS wants their actions to be cloaked in an illusion of "West versus Islam", if France veers to the right politically, ISIS wins.

5. The people are sick of their politicans doing nothing.

Time for a 2nd French Revolution.
