BERLIN (Sputnik) — According to Plate, Berlin is in a close contact with French intelligence services at all levels.
"We see a growing tendency, when small groups of people with relatively limited resources strike strong blows," Plate told reporters commenting on the truck attack in Nice.
On Thursday night, a truck rammed into a large crowd that was celebrating the Bastille Day in Nice, France. At least 84 people, including children, were killed and dozens of others were injured.
The driver was shot dead by police. According to ID documents found inside the truck, he was a 31-year-old man who was a resident of Nice of Tunisian origin. It is unclear whether he had any accomplices.
