Furious onlookers in Nice build trash shrine and "curse the attacker to hell"

A pile of rubbish has been built by angry locals and onlookers in the spot where the Nice attacker, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, died.

Those mourning the 84 people who lost their lives after a truck was rammed into a crowd, have been caught on camera adding trash to the garbage shine and showing their fury by spitting on top of the rubbish.

Michael Birnbaum, who works for the Washington Post, posted a videos of their anger and frustration on social medial, saying he had never seen aggression like this following an attack.

"People throw rocks, shout, curse the attacker to hell," he wrote on Twitter.

Mr Birnbaum claimed some people broke down crying at the site and wrote "the fury and aggression were a jolting companion to the grief for the lives lost elsewhere on the long waterfront boulevard."

The anger and distress seemingly widespread with the crowd reportedly booing and calling for France's political leaders to resign as they paid tribute to those who lost their lives.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls was reportedly heckled and booed before and after a minute's silence held for victims of the Bastille Day attack.

According to AFP, the Nice truck attacker took a picture of a news story eight months ago, which had the headline "Man deliberately rams car into cafe terrace", showing the first sign of planning the attack.

The agency also reports that investigators have said that the truck driver showed "recent interest" in jihadist activity.
