But, But, But

Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel had a long history of violence and mental illness, his family back in his homeland of Tunisia said, while insisting he showed no obvious signs of radicalization prior to Thursday’s attack that left at least 84 people dead.

He was a Muslim terrorist! Just look at his name!

“My brother had psychological problems, and we have given the police documents showing that he had been seeing psychologists for several years,” Rabeb Bouhlel, his sister, told Reuters.

[...]“From 2002 to 2004 he had problems that led to a nervous breakdown,” his father Mohamed Mondher Lahouaiej Bouhlel told several French channels in an interview outside his home, while brandishing his son’s clinical evaluations before the cameras.

“He’d get angry and shout and break everything around him. He was violent and very ill. We took him to the doctor and he was put on drugs."

According to his father, after moving to France, Lahouaiej Bouhlel had “no connection with religion. He didn’t fast or keep Ramadan. He drank. He even took drugs.”

Yeah, yeah. That's what his wife's cousin said.

His brother Jaber Bouhlel told the Daily Mail that the family received 240,000 Tunisian dinar (almost $110,000) from Mohamed in the past few weeks – a surprisingly large sum for a low-paid deliveryman.

Hmmmm...where'd he get that? No. Sorry. He was a radicalized Muslim terrorist. Period.

Well, sarcasm aside...

The Paris prosecutor's office said on Saturday that police had arrested five people believed to be linked to Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, the man suspected of ramming a lorry on Thursday night through a large crowd celebrating Bastille Day. Bouhele was shot dead by police.

The estranged wife of the Bouhlel is also still being held by authorities.

Al Jazeera's David Chater, reporting from Nice, said there was still no evidential trail that linked the suspect to ISIL.

"Authorities are nowhere near yet establishing that he was a so-called soldier of ISIL," he said. "They [ISIL] might have claimed the attack but no connection has yet been found between the armed group and the driver," Chater added.

"He's more being described as a loner; psychologists called him as man who wanted to go from zero to hero; he wanted to establish himself but, looking at his past, he was very much a manic depressive, apparently, who had violent feats and rages.
