U.S. President Barack Obama condemned what he said “appears to be a horrific terrorist attack”. The Paris attack in November was the bloodiest among a number in France and Belgium in the past two years. Thursday night’s attack in the Riviera city of Nice plunged France into new grief and fear just eight months after gunmen killed 130 people in Paris. Many people from the area have moved to France, including Nice, and money they send back has made it comparatively prosperous. After Thursday’s attack, a state of emergency imposed across France after the November attacks in Paris was extended by a further three months.
