French truck killer had 'support and accomplices': prosecutor
Source: AFP
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.

Looked for a good link not behind paywall, this is the first one I found that kind of covers it.

(8,303 posts)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:
