Vehicle crashes into crowd in Nice, France, during Bastille Day celebrations

A TRUCK has ploughed into a crowd in Nice in a terrorist attack, killing at least 77 people and injuring 42, at Bastille Day celebrations.

Many of the dead were children, French President Francois Hollande said. He declared a state of emergency and said it could not be denied that the massacre was a “terrorist attack”.

The gunman fired into the crowd after emerging from his vehicle. Police say a large cache of weapons was found in the back of the truck.

“We are on the brink of a civil war,” Mr Calvar reportedly said, according to French newspaper Le Figaro, noting that the clash could present a bigger threat than the terrorism itself.

Anti-Muslim sentiment appears to be on the rise in France and other areas of Europe where there has been an influx of refugees from Syria and a number of terrorist attacks linked to Islamic State.

“Europe is in great danger, extremism is growing everywhere,” Mr Calvar said.

“I think this confrontation is going to happen. One or two more attacks and it will take place. It is up to us to anticipate and stop all those groups who would trigger clashes.”...
