Second possible accomplice Muslim extremist Nice arrested | Abroad

A 47-year-old man had already been arrested on Thursday evening. On the day before the attack, he too would have been in contact with the 21-year-old Muslim extremist who eventually ended up in France as a migrant from Tunisia via the island of Lampedusa.

The 21-year-old Tunisian who murdered three people in Nice on Thursday has previously been arrested for using violence. According to justice in Tunisia, this happened in 2016. The man used a knife in that incident, just as in the attack in Nice. Justice in Tunisia started an investigation into the man on Thursday.

The man left Tunisia in September and reported as a migrant on the Italian island of Lampedusa. He then traveled via the southern Italian city of Bari to Nice, in the south of France.

France is suffering a series of Islamic attacks. Recently, a teacher was beheaded for showing cartoons of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad in a lesson on freedom of speech.
