Mohamed Bouhlel had a criminal record and was known to French police, but not to the intelligence services. The attacker's brother said that Mohamed look really happy and pleased and he was laughing a lot when mingling with the crowd. His brother Jabeur told Reuters in Tunisia that Mohamed had called him for a final time on Thursday afternoon and sent a picture of himself among the crowds in the southern French city. The Tunisian man who killed at least 84 people in France by mowing down Bastille Day revellers with a lorry had phoned his brother hours earlier and sent a picture of himself laughing as he mingled with the crowd, the brother told Reuters. "He had behavioural problems with his parents at that time ... he was very aggressive with them," Hamouda said.
