French President François Hollande announced that he would extend his country's state of emergency — due to end July 26 — by an additional three months, following the deadly attack in Nice Thursday when a truck plowed into a crowd of people, killing at least 84.

Hollande condemned the attack as a "monstrosity," and said there could be no doubt that it was an act of terror. "France as a whole is under the threat of Islamic terrorism," he said.
