Mr Hollande said the attack was of "an undeniable terrorist nature".

He warned that the battle against terrorism would be long, as France faced an enemy "that will continue to attack those people and those countries that count liberty as an essential value".

Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said the attack bore the hallmarks of jihadist terrorism.

Lahouaiej-Bouhlel was known to the police as a petty criminal, but was "totally unknown to intelligence services... and was never flagged for signs of radicalisation," the prosecutor added.
