Nice Attack: Police challenged truck terrorist then let him park on prom for NINE hours

The sick killer spent nine hours on the French street in a truck laden with assault rifles, a pistol and even a grenade . He simply waited for revellers to turn out for the evening before driving along the promenade and crushing and shooting at the crowd, according to reports.
It has now emerged the terrorist, named as 31-year-old French-Tunisian Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, rented the lorry two days earlier.
Bouhlel is believed to have been carrying assault rifles, a pistol and even a grenade with him in the lorry.
But they went undiscovered by police - despite the country being on high terror alert.
Reports claim police allowed the killer to stay on the Promenade des Anglais because he told them he was delivering ice cream.
The roads had been shut from 3pm to prepare for the celebrations, so the killer got there early and waited.
