Schengen Agreement is falling apart.



Germany, Italy and Spain announced on Friday that they would re-impose control of their borders shared with France in wake of the attack that killed at least 84 Thursday in Nice, BFMTV reported. These measures were taken in consultation with the French authorities.

German police announced in a statement the adoption of "restrictive measures on the French border."

Meanwhile, Italy said that increased security measures will be implemented on three lanes of road connecting France and Italy and the Ventimiglia railway station.

Spain has announced his side the maintenance of security measures in place for Euro 2016.

Spain's Minister of the Interior Jorge Fernandez Diaz also on Friday called on Spanish citizens to report any suspicious activities they may notice.

Anti-terrorism prosecutor Francois Molins identified the suspect in the attack as Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, "a delivery man, of Tunisian nationality, married and with children" adding that he had a criminal record but no known terrorist connection.

His identity papers and a bank card were found in the truck and his identity had been confirmed by fingerprints, he said.
