PARIS—A Tunisian man went on trial in France on Monday on terrorism charges over the killing of three people in a basilica in the French Riviera city of Nice in 2020, one of multiple attacks that year linked to Islamic extremism.
The assailant, who was shot and seriously wounded by police, says he remembers nothing. Brahim Aouissaoui, now 25, was the only person in the dock as the trial opened, with no accomplices or sponsors identified.
