Tunisian Man on Trial in France for 2020 Nice Church Terror Attack

Brahim Aouissaoui faces charges of terrorist murder after killing three people in a premeditated knife attack at a basilica in Nice.

Brahim Aouissaoui, a 25-year-old Tunisian, is accused of killing three people in a 2020 terrorist attack at the Notre-Dame Basilica in Nice, France.
The victims included a 60-year-old worshipper, a 44-year-old Franco-Brazilian mother, and a 55-year-old church worker, all fatally stabbed in the attack.
Prosecutors allege Aouissaoui's actions were premeditated, citing his radicalization, scouting of the basilica, and possession of knives and a Qur’an at the time of the attack.
While Aouissaoui claims he has no memory of the incident, medical and psychiatric evaluations found no evidence of brain damage or impaired judgment, and investigators suggest his amnesia is fabricated.
The trial, set to continue until February 26, comes amid heightened security concerns in France following a series of Islamist extremist attacks in recent years.
