Shocked Canada PM offers support after Nice attack

-

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged his support to France after the Bastille Day truck attack in Nice that left at least 80 people dead.

"Canadians are shocked by tonight's attack in Nice. Our sympathy is with the victims and our solidarity with the French people," Trudeau said on Twitter.

A large crowd had gathered in the southern resort city to watch the fireworks show for France's national day.

A truck barreled two kilometers (1.3 miles) down the palm-lined Promenade des Anglais, leaving the area strewn with bodies and sending hundreds fleeing in terror.

"We stand with those injured and the families of the many killed," said Canadian opposition leader Thomas Mulcair, head of the New Democratic Party and a French citizen by marriage.
