Authorities also were poring over CCTV footage, tracing the movements of the commercial-sized white truck used in the attack. Rejoicing erupted on online networks associated with Islamic jihadists, although many hours after the attack, no claim of responsibility had been issued. It was the third major attack on French soil in the past 18 months. At least 84 people, including 10 children, were killed and 202 injured, dozens of them critically, the Paris prosecutor said. Though largely screened off from view by white sheeting, the upper outlines of the truck still could be seen.
