Nice Attacker Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel ‘Wasn’t A Muslim, He Was A S**t’,
The man behind the Nice truck attack that left 84 dead drank alcohol, beat his wife and has been described as “not a Muslim but a shit”.
Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, 31, who was born in Tunisia and had dual French citizenship, drove a rented truck through a crowd on a seaside promenade celebrating Bastille Day late on Thursday night.
He was shot dead by police and the truck’s windscreen was riddled with bullet holes as police investigated it after the incident.
Police are currently searching his home and local newspaper Nice Matin said he worked as a truck driver. He was reported to be a “loner” who became depressed after his wife left him. French TV reported that he was a father to three children.
“He kept himself to himself but would always rant about his wife. He had martial problems and would tell people in the local cafe.
Witnesses said they saw parents frantically throwing their children over fences to avoid them being struck by the lorry.
Another neighbour, also from Tunisia told L’Express: “On the Thursday night he was drinking with a colleague and they argued. His pal said ‘you’re worth nothing’ and he replied: ‘One day, you’ll hear about me.’”
He was known to police for crimes including theft and violence but was not on any terror watch list.
