Washington - France and the United States are fighting together against the same enemy, French Ambassador to the US Gerard Araud said in a message on Friday in response to the deadly terrorist attack in Nice.

“The French and the Americans are fighting side by side against the same enemy,” Araud stated in a Twitter message.

On Thursday night, a truck plowed into a crowd of people watching fireworks during a Bastille Day celebration in Nice, France, killing at least 84 people and injuring dozens of others.

According to identification documents found inside the truck, the driver was a 31-year-old of Tunisian origin who lived in Nice.

No group has claimed the responsibility for the terrorist attack in Nice.
