BREAKING NEWS: Four arrested over Nice terror attack

Police have arrested four people in connection with the Bastille Day attack One man covered with a towel was apprehended by French police today Officers arrested a man on Friday night and three others this morning It comes after Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel killed at least 84 people in Nice

Four men believed to be linked to the man who killed at least 84 people - including 10 children - after driving a lorry into a Bastille Day crowd have been arrested as police carry out raids in Nice.

A man covered with a towel was apprehended by French police this morning as the investigation continued two days after the savage attack on the Promenade des Anglais. 

Officers arrested three people in Nice early on Saturday - and one on Friday night - in connection with the probe into the horrific incident when a truck rammed into crowds in the Riviera city. 

French authorities were investigating whether the lorry driver Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, 31, had acted alone or with accomplices, and whether his motives were connected to radical Islam

The arrests concerned the attacker's 'close entourage' and were made in two different areas of Nice. 

Around 40 elite police officers were seen raiding a small apartment at Rue Miollis - north of the central station - where one individual was arrested. 

The driver's estranged wife is also still being held by police. 

The arrests come after a video showed French police grappling with a second man, just moments after shooting dead Bouhlel on Thursday night.
