Attack on Nice: France calls on 'patriotic citizens' to join the reserves

    5 minutes ago

The French interior minister has called on "all patriotic citizens" to become reservists to boost security in the wake of the attack in Nice, in which 84 people were killed.

Bernard Cazeneuve reiterated that France would call up 12,000 reservists.

Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel drove a lorry into crowds marking Bastille Day on the Promenade des Anglais on Thursday, before he was shot dead by police.

So-called Islamic State claimed one of its followers carried out the attack.
