French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said Friday that the man behind the Nice truck attack is a "terrorist" linked in some way to hardline religious ideology.
"He's a terrorist who is probably linked to radical Islam in one way or another," Valls told French television the day after 84 people were killed at a Bastille Day fireworks display in the French Riviera city.
Valls also said the military resources of the international coalition battling the Islamic State (IS) group would be boosted in the wake of the attack.
"Next week there will be a big meeting" in Washington, Valls told France Television.
"We are going to reinforce the coalition's reosurces" to fight against IS in Syria and Iraq, he added.
