Thursday’s truck attack in Nice, France that killed 84 people, including 10 children, and wounded more than 100 others was latest of several terror attacks targeting different countries in Europe since 2004.
The attack came just hours after the French president announced a state of emergency, declared after deadly Paris terror attacks last year, would not be extended and come to an end on July 26.
France has been under a state of emergency and high terror alert since a Daesh-blamed attack last November killed 130 people across Paris.
The state of emergency was extended three times: twice for three months, and the last time, on May 19, for two months to ensure security during the UEFA Euro 2016 football tournament that ended Sunday.
The last extension was also implemented to help tighten security for the Tour de France -- world's biggest road cycling competition -- which ends on July 24.
In the beginning of last year in France, many people lost their lives in terrorist attacks against the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and an entertainment spot in Paris.
The most deadly of these attacks in Europe is the one that happened in three different trains in Madrid, killing 191 people in 2004.
Here are some terror attacks that happened in different capitals across Europe:
March 11, 2004: In Madrid, the capital of Spain, a bomb attack was planned in three different trains. In the attack, which al-Qaeda claimed responsibility, 191 people died and around 2000 others were wounded.

July 22, 2011: Anders Breivik, a radical conservative, carried out a bomb attack in Oslo, Norway. He wore a police uniform two hours after the attack and slaughtered students on Utoya Island located near Oslo. In total, 77 people died and more than 200 others were wounded.
