France: More Arrests Following Attack in Nice That Killed 84
------------------------------------------------------------

In news from France, police say they have made two more arrests in
connection to the attack last week that left 84 people dead in the city
of Nice. The attacker, 31-year-old French citizen Mohamed Lahouaiej
Bouhlel, was shot dead by police after driving a truck through crowds of
people celebrating Bastille Day. Police say they have made a total of
six arrests in connection to the attacks, including Bouhlel's estranged
wife and an Albanian couple. A website affiliated with ISIL claimed
responsibility for the attack over the weekend, but police say there is
no evidence Bouhlel acted on behalf of the group.
