The world must unite against terrorism now

A terrorist attack left some 84 people, including several children, dead in the French city of Nice on Thursday evening in an incident that has shocked the world. A terrorist ploughed a truck loaded with grenades and other weapons into a large crowd celebrating a national day in France referred to as Bastille Day.
