French Interior Minister, Gerald Dermanin expected, on Friday, more terrorist attacks in France, noting that it is not necessary to change the constitution to protect the French people from terrorist attacks, according to Reuters.

Dermanin also attacked Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, saying that the recent statements made by him exceeded the limits.

It is noteworthy that the French prosecution official in terrorism cases, Jean-Francois Ricard, announced Thursday evening that the bomber of the Nice attack, who killed three people, and others were wounded, arrived by a train carrying an Italian Red Cross document.

He added in a press conference from Nice that the man arrived in the city by train on Thursday morning, then went to the church where he stabbed and killed the church servant (55 years old) and beheaded a woman (60 years old), noting that he also stabbed another woman (44 years old) who managed to escape to a nearby café before she breathes her last.

He also explained that he is a Tunisian born in 1999, and arrived on September 20 on the Italian island of Lampedusa, the main destination for migrants from Africa. Meanwhile, a Tunisian security source and a French police source revealed that the suspect’s name was Ibrahim El-Ouesawi.

He stated that the police arrived after that and confronted the attacker, shot him, and then he was transferred to hospital, in critical condition.

On his part, Mohsen El-Dali, the Tunisian judicial spokesman, confirmed to Reuters that El-Ouesawi was not classified as a hardliner before he left Tunisia, explaining that he left the country on an illegal immigration trip by boat on September 14th.

He said that the Tunisian authorities have opened an investigation into the Nice terror case.
