The police are still investigating whether the perpetrator, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, had links with the terrorist group. There is none are known at this time. Bouhlel was not known as radicalized by the intelligence services. From stories of neighbors and acquaintances who came out yesterday, the culprit seemed to be no strict Muslim he never prayed and gave Ramadan halfway. As may have been a cover-up.

The caliphate, which was on the losing side in Syria and Iraq, has to spread interest in utmost fear in the West. They do this, among other things by demanding action from them unknown loners or terror groups, who respond to the call to commit their own resources attacks.
