a video posted on YouTube Friday, July 15 is supposed, according to the person who put it online, show “capture” Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel after the bombing of Nice. Yet the terrorist was shot by police around 11:00 p.m. Thursday, July 14, after the race for 2 km which made 84 victims on the Promenade des Anglais. These images were taken by several conspiracy sites and viewed hundreds of thousands of times. But they are much less “troubling” what they say. Explanations.
What says the description of the video
“Nice The terrorist Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel was captured alive “ says the title of the YouTube video. In the few lines in legend, the author ensures that “clearly shows” that
“1) The terrorist looks up. 2) The terrorist communicates with the police without any distance between them. 3) The terrorist fled and cooperates with police after being hit. It was subsequently reported that the terrorist was killed. “
In the logic of the user who published them, these images therefore call into question the version that the driver was shot once mastered the vehicle.
WHY iS fALSE
A mounted video
When viewing this video, we see a man in gray away from the truck.
We then see the police on the back of the vehicle, is outraged about a person on the ground, in particular by making sudden movements. The latter is then evacuated by the police who help him up.
The video is confused, especially because it is not a crude extract but a montage. There are cuts, some scenes are broadcast repeatedly, others are choppy or do not seem to be broadcast at normal speed.
We see also that this is a capture of a video played on a computer screen. In fact, another version of this video, which we do not know if it is the original, was broadcast a few hours earlier in the day of 15 July on the Facebook page of the Israeli website Ynet, who says it emanates from an Israeli tourist in Nice, that we are not able to confirm. The images also seem to have been mounted.
This is not the terrorist, but a victim
This second video shows nevertheless a crucial moment that was cut in the circulating on YouTube: it shows police rob their guns towards the cabin of the truck, and you hear detonations. Only then seen passing and the man surrounded by police on the screen.
This place is the story of the facts by the Paris prosecutor Francois Molins Friday, June 15 “the terrorist fired repeatedly on three police officers up to the Negresco hotel ,. The police retaliated and pursued the truck, which was however still managed to roll over nearly 300 meters. The police managed to neutralize it by shooting at the Palais de la Méditerranée. “
What is clearly seen in another video of the scene, touring the man next to the truck by Nader El Shafei, an Egyptian tourist. These images are betting online by the pro-Russian website Russia Today show police firing at the truck. Soon after, we see the head of an inert man’s man at the front of the vehicle, the passenger side. It also sees the way we see the other video.
The person ashore presented as a terrorist was actually a “evacuated victim, given the threat generated by interception of the lorry “ says a police source in the World .
the Egyptian Nader El Sahfei has also told NBC News he saw a woman under the wheels of the truck when he came up to the Palace of the Mediterranean, where the video was filmed. “He has brought down a lot of people” , a-t- he said. Grégory Carty, a witness who was outside the hotel Negresco when the vehicle is past and saw overthrow two people. “Paralyzed” , he headed a few minutes later towards the Palace of the Mediterranean. “There were many victims’ at this point, he confirmed to World .
When contacted, the terrorism prosecutor of Paris did not give details on the number of injured near the place where the truck stopped his race. Nevertheless ensures that Mohamed was well Lahouaiej Bouhlel “alone in the truck,” at the time.
