(AP) France’s counter-terrorism prosecutors made a formal request Tuesday for nine suspects to face trial in connection with the 2016 Bastille Day truck attack in Nice that left 86 people dead.
In a statement following the end of a judicial investigation, the Paris-based prosecutors’ office did not disclose the identity of the suspects.
Four suspects have been charged with terrorist conspiracy for alleged links to the attacker, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, who plowed a 19-ton truck down Nice’s Promenade des Anglais and into a crowd assembled for the July 14 fireworks display.
Five other suspects have been charged with other criminal charges, including for allegedly providing arms to the assailant.
