Online jihadists celebrated the latest terror attack on France today after three people were murdered by a knifeman in Nice on a day which also saw a gunman killed in Avignon and a guard attacked at a French consulate in Saudi Arabia. 

The latest in a long line of violent attacks in France was 'already being celebrated massively across jihadi communities' by late Thursday, according to the SITE Intelligence monitoring group. 

SITE director Rita Katz said it was 'hard to recall social media celebration this massive for terrorism' with jihadists taking to Twitter and Facebook to welcome the latest grisly murders.
