French Prosecutor of the Republic Francois Molins announced Friday in a press conference that 84 people, including 10 children and adolescents, were killed Thursday night in Nice during a terrorist attack.

A total of 202 people have been injured, Molins said, adding that 52 among them are in critical condition and 25 still in reanimation.

As for the identity of the terrorist, Molins confirmed it was a man called Mohamen Lahouaiej Bouhlel, 31 years old, of Tunisian nationality.

Bouhlel, according to a press release by French Justice Minister Urvoas, was sentenced "only once" to six months suspended prison after a traffic accident.

Molins stressed Bouhlel was not known to French intelligence service at neither national or local level for radicalization.

Around 23:00 local time Thursday night, Bouhlel drove a white truck at high speed into crowds gathered along the promenade in Nice to watch fireworks marking the French national day.

He fired several times on three police officers and continued to race for 300 meters before being neutralized by security forces, Molins continued, saying that Bouhlel was shot dead on the passenger side of the truck cabin.

According to the prosecutor, eight empty pallets and a bicycle were found inside the rented refrigerated truck. In the driver's cabin, a pistol and a charger were also discovered by investigators.

A second automatic pistol, a grenade and two assault rifle replicas, a kalacknikov and a M16, were also found, Molins said, adding that the mobile phone and several documents found in the cabin are being studied by the investigators.

So far, no organization has claimed responsibility for the attack, but "this kind of attack corresponds to the calls for killing of terrorist organizations," Molins concluded.
