A truck driver who killed dozens of Bastille Day revelers in Nice, France, had been planning the attack for months and had at least five accomplices, the Paris prosecutor said Thursday.
Analysis of Bouhlel's cell phone uncovered photos, texts and phone calls that indicated he started planning last Bastille Day, Molins said, adding that Bouhlel took photos of fireworks on July 14, 2015 an in August 2015, and centered the photos around the crowds watching them.
The suspected accomplices — four men and one woman — were in custody in Nice, Francois Molins told a news conference, and will be charged Thursday on several terrorist counts.

It appears that the Bastille Day Attack was carefully planned over the course of 12 months. 5 accomplices will be charged with terrorism related offences.

Innocent until proven guilty.
'Will be charged' means little to me. 'Have been convicted' means a lot to me.
IMO, the guy was nuts. That is why he did it.
Whether he had accomplices or not should be left to the actual courts and not the court of public opinion.
Hopefully, it he did it all by himself with no help from anyone.
I also think the guy was nuts, especially when considering his brother's statement.
But I could be wrong. I'll just have to wait and see.
Btw, I really like your avatar and I am not sure why.

I believe that anyone that would deliberately kill dozens of innocent civilians (including children) HAS to be insane...no matter what their 'cause' was.

This will come as a surprise to no one. The rush to make excuses as to why this isnt REALLY Islamic terrorism will also come as no suprise.

It's important to get all the facts straight because we're seeing 2 dangerous things occurring right now:
1. Isis is recruiting random people from Muslim backgrounds online to carry out attacks. This makes them more powerful.
2. The media is trying to say that online recruits somehow aren't really Isis members, and therefore they aren't committing Islamic terrorism. With an election coming up, the media wants to do everything possible to distract people from connecting the dots.

Islam does not consider non-Muslims innocents. Remember that.

Aside from ISIS making an unsubstantiated claim that it was their operation, there is still no proof that the truck driver was a part of that organization. Even the article in the OP says that the ones that have been arrested have no ties to Islamic radicalism.
What difference, at this point, does it really make?
The powers that be do not wish to admit that "non-radicalized" Muslim acquaintances are quite prevalent. The effort to connect all of the dots of those that supported (encouraged?) the act just may lead to the Koran itself - then it gets into quite politically incorrect territory. Many more than they wish to admit do not see infidels as innocent.
Wrong. Flatly wrong. But please read the whole post before going off the deep end.
What you and the other Islamophobes simply don't get is that the Qur'an - which shares a great many passages and stories with the Bible - has (like the Bible) many passages that are either contradictory with other passages, or can be easily misconstrued.
For instance, if you'd actually take a few minutes to learn about what the Qur'an says, you'd realize that in the words attributed to God (note the phrasing there - I did that for a reason), that the killing of innocents is not only forbidden, but a sure way to damnation. Not only that, but the destruction of NON-Islamic places of worship is ALSO, according to the Qur'an, against God's will.
So where does all the violence come from? Tribalism, the lust for power, from xenophobia, and the Middle Eastern tradition of holding grudges not just over decades, but across entire generations...and so those who search for recruits use verses that contradict the verses listed in the link above. It's much like how the words of the Bible has been used many times for great crimes - "Thou shalt not kill" is contradicted by "Do not suffer a witch to live" and "Leave no one in the nation alive, not even animals". It's like I said above - the religion is not the reason, but is used as an excuse. The examples of precisely this in human history are legion indeed.
Now, concerning the phrasing I pointed out above, I am very much a Christian - the words in the Bible (when translated properly) do contain the words of God. The reason I know a bit about Islam is that I wrote a book...and researching the book took me places I'd never expected, from how to properly curry a horse to pre-CRISPR gene manipulation to Syrian culture...and as a result I have a very healthy respect for other writers, for just how much research goes into most books.
All major religions are ridiculous.
One need not be a member of ISIS to be a fundamentalist Islamist terrorist. One needs only to kill in the glorious name of Allah.Aside from ISIS making an unsubstantiated claim that it was their operation, there is still no proof that the truck driver was a part of that organization. Even the article in the OP says that the ones that have been arrested have no ties to Islamic radicalism.
Psst...don't forget abrogation. You know, all the good parts and nice, peaceful words (stolen from Judaism/Christianity before Mohammad had any power and he expected the Jews and Christians to follow him...except the Jews knew him for what he was and rejected him...too smart for him, which is why he developed a pathological hatred for Jews) are abrogated by later, violent verses invented by him after he gained power and a larger following and could slaughter happily. Abrogation is the key word.
