Attentat à Nice: la préfecture demande aux habitants de rester cloîtrés
Un camion a foncé jeudi soir dans la foule sur la Promenade des Anglais à Nice pendant le feu d'artifice du 14 juillet, faisant plusieurs victimes selon la mairie et des témoins sur place. La préfecture des Alpes-Maritimes évoque un attentat et demande aux habitants de rester cloîtrés.

"Les gens courent, c'est la panique. Il est monté sur la Prom et il a foncé sur tout le monde" explique notre collègue. "Il y a du monde en sang, sans doute plein de blessés", explique l'un des journalistes de Nice Matin, présent sur place.

La mairie de Nice a évoqué plusieurs victimes. Vers 23H20, un important périmètre de sécurité était délimité à proximité, autour de la place Masséna.



Attack in Nice: the prefecture asked residents to stay cooped

A truck drove Thursday night in the crowd on the Promenade in Nice English during the fireworks of July 14, several casualties as the mayor and witnesses on site. The Alpes-Maritimes prefecture evokes an attack and asked residents to stay cloistered.

"People are running, it's panic. It is mounted on the Prom and he drove on everyone," says our colleague. "There are people in blood, probably full of wounded," said one of the journalists of Nice Matin, on site.

The mayor of Nice spoke several victims. To 11:20 p.m., a large security perimeter was delimited nearby, around the Place Massena.

I just edited about this tragedy at Sott.net in French, it was for me the only way to deal with this horror.

There is a very disturbing video, your discretion is advice. It is the sound, something that will make me not be able to sleep tonight.

How come they say it is a terrorist attack? It seems to me that this is a repetition of the Bataclan horror. I don't know...

Horrendous..., according to RT News reports:

Dozens of people have been killed and many more were injured after a truck plowed into a crowd in Nice, France during Bastille Day celebrations.

The local police prefect has confirmed that least 30 people were dead and over 100 were injured in the crash, Reuters reported, citing BFM TV.

Sebastien Humbert, the perfect for the Alpes-Maritime area, detailed the circumstances of the crash, explaining the high number of casualties to BFM.

"A truck rammed into the crowd over a long distance, which explains this extremely heavy toll," he said.

BFM also said that authorities have classified the the incident as an “attack.”

“There are people in blood, probably full of wounded,” a reporter for the Nice Matin newspaper said.

According to an eyewitness report cited by BFM, the driver of the truck shouted, “Allahu Akbar!” before the attack.

Witnesses reported that the truck that drove into the crowd was watching the fireworks celebration of Bastille Day. Photos emerged on social media showing injured people lying on the ground en masse.

Had not seen the videos that are poping up, but, if the videos, testimonies, lead to prove it was on purpose, is a terrorist attack...

A tragedy, from here to there, the common people is the one who suffers, again, and again and again. Try to get some sleep, you will need the energy to digest the horror in which the planet is inmerse ... it helps to me the Prayer of the Cosmic Mind, just repeating like a mantra, until I fall asleep when something is disturbing me, and it also calms, and one rests, and one certainly need it ...

Wow, just wow. My heart goes out to the people who were killed and their families that have to cope with this.

It’s interesting about France closing its embassy in turkey after a supposed threat.

Although this whole thing stinks of some alphabet agency handy work, it really doesn't matter who was exactly responsible. The war of psychopaths against normal people is in full swing.

At all levels, whether psychopaths hide behind religions, government institutions, rogue agencies, the results are the same. It’s always the non-psychopathic people who suffer.

No matter how much normal people just want to be left alone and live their lives, it should be pretty obvious that is never going to happen with the cancer that is psychopathy.

The c’s did say things are going to heat up.

Also they did mention that one day we will celebrate the cosmic cleansing. I can clearly see that now.

Everyone take care and be prepared psychologically as my gut tells me things are going to get a lot worse before they get better, world wide.

There are very few information. What I don't understand is how such a big truck made it to the promenade des anglais if the access to this one is closed by security forces. They could have stopped it before.

Re: Attack in Nice: the prefecture asked residents to stay cooped

It’s not going to stop before our own Intelligence services / governments are held accountable. Which is never going to happen.

Hate and prejudices will take over, it’s not yet 1930. But you can see it from here and all that comes with it.

The darkest pages of humanity are about to be written. Seems the PTB really want more than just control. They want their Holocaust asap.

Exactly! I am so chocked! How devilish they are to make people suffer and the story starts again, and again as you said Mabar and you Nima. Normal that many people are having strange nightmares, we are seeing these beings as they are!

I don't remember if there was a state of emergency in vigor now in France? Now for sure this state will come back again.

Well, if this photo of before the event is genuine, it seems only one lane was closed, which would make it easy for any crazy driver to go to the other ones

Hollande just announced yesterday that France's state of emergency is to be lifted after July 26:

So the timing of this hardly seems coincidental.

Re: Attack in Nice: the prefecture asked residents to stay cooped

According to the Nice Matin, a local newspaper, the driver is a 31 yrs old male from the city, of Tunisian origin. They say that he had "weapons" and grenades in the truck, and was shooting at people while driving. They insist that he was alone. They annonce 80 deaths. Given the particular racism that Nice is known for, it's easy to imagine how the narrative will evolve from now on.

I was in my bed and suddenly I wanted to know if everyone that lives in France, from this forum, is ok.

And now Hollande just extended the state of emergency for three more months:
