NICE (FRANCE) - France has called on young "patriots" to join the reserves following an IS-claimed truck attack in Nice which killed 84 and prompted tough questions over security failures. The first compensation payouts to victims under a French government scheme will begin next week, minister Juliette Meadel told AFP Saturday. France is also home to hundreds of jihadists who have flocked to fight alongside IS. Cazeneuve said the father-of-three "seemed to have been radicalised very quickly, from what his friends and family" have told police. -At least 10 children and adolescents were among the dead in Nice as well as tourists from the United States, Russia, Ukraine, Switzerland and Germany.
