Earlier, France called up 12,000 police reservists to boost security in the wake of the killings.

The latest arrests bring the number of those held over the attack to seven.

The driver was shot dead by police when his vehicle’s path along the seafront Promenade des Anglais was eventually halted.

A source close to the investigation told French news agency AFP that the killer had visited the area on the previous two days to prepare for the attack.
