Kalashnikov found in raid linked to Nice attack

NICE, France,(APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 21st july,2016) - French police found a Kalashnikov rifle and a bag of ammunition in the basement of a man held in connection with the Bastille Day truck massacre, a source close to the case said Thursday.

The raid was carried out as part of the investigation into a 22-year-old man believed to have received text messages from Lahouaiej Bouhlel on the night of the attack, discussing the supply of weapons. About 100 investigators are poring over masses of data linked to the probe, and photos found on Bouhlel's cellphone indicate he was studying several locations where crowds gathered.
