PARIS, Shawwal 10, 1437, July 15, 2016, SPA -- An attacker killed about 60 people and injured 100 when he drove a truck at high speed into crowds watching Bastille Day fireworks in the French Riviera city of Nice late on Thursday, local media quoted officials as saying, according to Reuters. Police shot and killed the driver, who drove at high speed for over 100 metres (yards) along the famed Promenade des Anglais seafront before hitting the mass of spectators, regional sub-prefect Sebastien Humbert told France Info radio. Broadcaster i-Tele quoted the prosecutor's office as saying the preliminary death toll was 60. Local lawmaker Eric Ciotti told France Info radio more probably had died. Other officials put the number of wounded at at least 100 and possibly more. Humbert described it as a clear criminal attack, although the driver was not yet identified. --SPA 02:44 LOCAL TIME 23:44 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
