Here we go again: 60 dead over 100 injured in terror attack in Nice, France
It's Bastille Day in France, the equivalent of Independence Day in many other countries. But it's not a happy day.Some 60 people are dead tonight and over 100 injured after a truck driver drove his truck through a crowd of revelers in Nice in Southern France this evening. The Islamic State terror group has already taken responsibility for the attack.
Let's go to the videotape.
At least 60 people have been killed and 100 more injured in the southern French city of Nice tonight after a lorry was “deliberately driven” into a crowd out celebrating Bastille Day in a confirmed terrorist attack.
French officials have confirmed that they are investigating a terrorist attack and there are unconfirmed reports that there are gunmen on the loose in the city. . . .
Witnesses said the truck “rammed” the crowd where it was thickest at more than 30mph, and images emerged of the cab riddled with bullets.
Police have identified the driver, who was killed during the incident, and it is believed to have been a man who was known to security services. Crowds had packed out the city’s main promenade to watch a fireworks display marking Bastille Day, a major public holiday in France, and were beginning to head home when the lorry hit.
witness reported horrific scenes with “dead bodies everywhere” and distressing video footage emerged of people fleeing the Promenade des Anglais, in the southern French city, in terror.
Fox News is reporting that gunmen are believed to be holding hostages at Nice’s Meridien Hotel.Here's more.

ISIS is only the tip of the iceberg, and that iceberg will [will] eat us alive. ... Why? ... For many reasons, few people are willing to expend the time and energy to learn precise what that iceberg is, and is not. And our vaunted Fourth Estate is smack in the middle of that problem.
