WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The French prosecutor confirmed through fingerprints earlier in the day the identity of Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, whose documents were found inside the truck used to kill 84 people and injure scores more during Bastille Day celebrations late Thursday.
"President Obama had an opportunity earlier today to telephone President Hollande," Earnest stated. "The president’s top terrorism advisor Lisa Monaco had an opportunity to telephone her counterpart today, I know that Secretary of Defense Ash Carter has been in touch with his French counterpart, Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson has been in touch with French Ambassador to the United States."
