Chia sẻ

(VOVWORLD) - Italian media said Wednesday that Endri Elenzi, a 28-year-old Albanian wanted in connection with a 2016 truck attack in Nice, France, that killed 86 people has been arrested in southern Italy.

Elenzi was wanted on a European arrest warrant issued by France for allegedly having provided arms to the attacker, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel.

A Paris court in March made a formal request for 8 suspects to face trial next year.

Bouhlel was killed by police after plowing a truck down Nice’s Promenade des Anglais and into a crowd assembled for a Bastille Day fireworks display. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack.
