Legal sources have been at pains to tell the French press there is nothing sinister behind the request to delete images that investigators have already copied. It emerged this week that French police asked authorities in the city of Nice to destroy CCTV footage that captured last week's truck attack that killed 84 people. "These images are sealed evidence (to be used only) for the purposes of the investigation," the source added.
