Eight more arrests in connection with Nice lorry attack

French authorities have made eight new arrests in connection with the Bastille Day truck attack in Nice that left 86 people dead, the Paris prosecutor's office said.

The office said the suspects detained on Monday were French and Tunisian and had links to the attacker, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, who ploughed a 19-ton truck down Nice's Promenade des Anglais and into a crowd assembled for a July 14 fireworks display.
