A third suspect is in French custody Saturday in connection with an Islamic extremist knife attack that killed three people in a Nice church, as the distraught family of the suspected Tunisian assailant asked to see video footage of what happened.

Investigators in France, Tunisia and Italy are trying to determine the motive of chief suspect Ibrahim Issaoui, and whether he acted alone and whether he premeditated Thursday's attack on the Notre Dame Basilica.

A 35-year-old man who had met with Issaoui in Nice was arrested overnight, a judicial official said Saturday. A 47-year-old man who had met with Issaoui the night before the attack was already in custody, bringing the number of detained suspects to three. Their connection to the attack remains unclear.

"We want the truth about how my son carried out this terrorist attack. I want to see what the surveillance cameras showed. I will not give up my son's rights outside the country. I want my son, dead or alive," his mother Gamra told The Associated Press, her words often interrupted by tears. On the dusty Tina Street, amid low-rise homes in the working class Nasr neighbourhood of Sfax, friends and neighbours said Issaoui sold gasoline for motorcycles and while not starving or homeless, he was poor like many in the area. That poverty is driving more and more young Tunisians to seek jobs and opportunity in Europe this year.

"Obviously, we give precedence to people who are signalled by law enforcement or by Tunisian authorities," Lamorgese said. "The number of spots are not infinite, and he could not therefore be placed inside a repatriation centre." Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has been at odds with Macron on several fronts lately, said Saturday: "All kinds of insults towards our prophet target all Muslims."

Wahhabists will swing from lampposts

Do you know what kind of answers they expect?

Free speech is under attack in France and Canadian politicians are afraid to defend it. Whether you agree with the cartoons or not free speech should allow 'offensive' opinions, otherwise we have lost our freedom to express contrary opinions.

Terrorist.

You misspelled terrorist

'He was just enforcing the limits of free expression' - Trudeau

What happens when you give refugee status to numbnuts, stop

Who cares what they seek? The entire family should be deported to wherever they came from. Trying to determine a motive? LOL. Always running damage control for islam. Diversity.. what a strength. These people make our Western civilization better, or so I’m told..

'I want to see what the surveillance cameras showed. I will not give up my son's rights outside the country.' ^^ - SEEMS TO BE SYMPATHETIC TO ISLAMIC TERRORISM AND THE PLIGHT OF JIHADISTS FAMILIES...

Maybe he screwed too many goats.

The family needs to be deported
