Héloïse Heuls: Ten years after the Nice attacks, how jihadism has reinvented itself

The article discusses how jihadism has evolved over the past decade since the 2016 terrorist attack in Nice, France, which killed 86 people. The piece highlights that despite the decline of the Islamic State (IS), the ideology behind it persists and continues to attract young, connected individuals. Héloïse Heuls, a researcher associated with the Cnam and part of the ESDR3C team (security and defense), analyzes this phenomenon in her book 'Cyberdjihad. Le grand recrutement,' prefaced by Gilles Kepel. The article notes that the method used in the Nice attack—using a truck to run over civilians—was theorized by jihadist ideologues as early as the 2000s and was promoted by Abu Mohamed al-Adnani, who encouraged such attacks against 'enemies of Islam' using easily accessible means.
