Three people were arrested in the past two days on suspicion of being connected to a Tunisian who attacked worshippers at the Notre Dame basilica on Thursday after coming to France through Italy.

The fourth suspect was detained in Grasse on the French Riviera, northwest of Nice, according to the France Bleu broadcaster.

Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi said the attacker had repeatedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" (God is great). He also reportedly carried a copy of Quran. An anti-terrorism probe is underway.
