French Foreign Ministry Says No Lebanese Victims in Nice Attack
The French Foreign Ministry said on Friday that there were no Lebanese nationals among the victims of the Nice attack, the National News Agency reported.
“The search operations and the verification of the identity of the victims continue. Until this moment no Lebanese individuals were injured in the aggression,” NNA quoted the French Ministry.
A gunman smashed a truck into a crowd of revelers celebrating Bastille Day in the French Riviera city of Nice, killing at least 84 people in what President Francois Hollande on Friday called a "terrorist" attack.
More than 50 children were among those hospitalized.
Hollande declared three days of mourning after the assault, as the shell shocked country found itself again mourning its dead after attacks on Charlie Hebdo magazine in January 2015 and the November 2015 massacre in Paris.
