AT LEAST 84 DEAD IN NICE TERROR ATTACK!!

At least 84 people have died, including children, after a lorry slammed through a crowd celebrating Bastille Day in the southern French city of Nice. The driver ploughed on for 2km (1.2 miles) on the Promenade des Anglais at about 23:00 local time, before being shot dead by police. Witnesses say the speeding lorry swerved and zigzagged in an apparent attempt to hit more people. Police reportedly found guns and grenades inside the lorry. President Francois Hollande said the attack was of "an undeniable terrorist nature". A state of emergency, in place since November's Paris attacks carried out by Islamic State militants in which 130 people died, has been extended by three months. Paddy Mullan, from Northern Ireland, witnessed the attack and told the BBC that he had "never seen" such fear. He said the truck "came out nowhere" and started "ploughing" into the crowd. "This lorry just mounted the kerb, across the street from us and the next thing, all you could hear was banging and shouting and screaming," he said. One image on Twitter showed about a dozen people lying on the street. A white lorry, the front of which was riddled with bullet holes, continued to be examined by police in Nice on Friday morning. A journalist with the Nice Matin newspaper reported from the scene that there was "a lot of blood". About 50 people have been injured, 18 of them critically.   BBC
