Two French soldiers were slightly injured in an attack by a knife-wielding man in the southern resort of Nice on Tuesday, close to a Jewish community centre.<br /><br /> No motive has been offered for the attack, which the justice ministry is treating as a terrorist act. <br /><br /> However, it appears the man had just left a tram on which he had been fined for not buying a ticket.<br /><br /> “He was carrying identification documents with him that didn’t give his identity, but bore the name Moussa Coulibaly,” said the Mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi.<br /><br /> “A few moments later we arrested a second man who seems to be his accomplice.” <br /><br /> French police say the attacker was apprehended by a tram guard and a shopkeeper.<br /><br /> They say he had a string of previous convictions for theft and drug offences.<br /><br /> He had also been interviewed previously by the secret service after the Turkish authorities reported he had tried to enter the country on a one-way ticket.
