Two Americans are among the dead from France's Bastille Day attack.
State Department spokesman John Kirby says the pair was among those killed in Nice on Thursday when a large truck plowed through a crowd gathered for fireworks. More than 80 died in all.
Kirby didn't identify the individuals by name, citing privacy concerns.
