French prosecutors say the eight accused helped the 2016 Bastille Day gunman get weapons, rent the truck or survey the route

Seven men and one woman will go on trial on Monday over the 2016 Bastille Day attack in the French city of Nice, which saw 86 killed and hundreds injured by a gunman who drove a heavy truck into a crowd gathered to watch fireworks.

Lahouaiej Bouhlel swerved his truck through crowds on a stretch of about two km on the Promenade des Anglais, Nice’s sea-side, palm tree-lined boulevard, causing devastation and chaos among the 25,000 people or so gathered for the festivities. Hubler, who had been holidaying in the region with his family, was physically unharmed but witnessed the attack and tried to help others in the aftermath, including holding an injured woman’s hand until the moment she died.
