The driver who killed at least 84 people in Nice had
recently been radicalized, according to French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, who says the attack was of an "Islamist nature." Meanwhile,
two more people have been arrested in connection with the tragedy.
"The investigation will establish the facts, but we know now that the killer was radicalized
very quickly," Valls said in remarks published on Sunday, Reuters reports.
"The claim on Saturday morning by Islamic State [IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL] and the fast radicalization of the killer confirm the Islamist nature of this attack," the Prime Minister stated.
A man and woman were arrested in Nice on Sunday for
possible involvement, putting the total number of people detained in connection with the truck attack
at seven, news agencies report, citing judiciary sources.
Five of those previously detained remain in custody.
