Attack in Nice

[Peter Lemkin]

Someone in Nice who knew the accused Tunisian-Frenchman amazingly says he was not religious, certainly not a radical, a womanizer and avid drinker, petty criminal, a loner and not one who hung out with groups of others, not known to have even regularly attended Mosque. Doesn't sound like an typical 'ISIL terrorist' man to me........which he is being called. He was 31 and by profession a truck driver. His flat has just been raided and friends and relatives rounded up. His name is Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, and he was married [but separated] with three children.

Neighbours told the channel he was not particularly interested in religion, adding that he preferred girls and salsa.
They said that he had been unhappy since he divorce, and that he suffered from financial problems.
Neighbors described him as "depressed and unstable, even agressive" of late. They put this down to his "marital and financial problems".
One told BFM TV he was "more into women than religion".
"He (didn't) pray and like(d) girls and Salsa," according to BFM's crime correspondent.
Jasmine, 40 said: "He was rude and bit weird.
"We would hold the door open for him and he would just blank him. He kept himself to himself but would always rant about his wife. He had martial problems and would tell people in the local cafe. He scared my children though."
They found a pistol, a larger gun, and a number of fake weapons and grenades in his vehicle after the attack.
