		</div><p>The city of Nice, still shaken by last month&#8217;s deadly extremist attack, has joined a growing list of French sites to ban the body-covering burkini swimsuit.</p>
<p>Leading officials argue that the swimwear, resembling a full-body wetsuit with a hood, oppresses women and violates France&#8217;s secular principles.</p>
<p>But many see the bans as discriminatory.</p>
<p>Nice was devastated when a truck driver attacked crowds watching fireworks on July 14, killing 85 people in violence claimed by the Islamic State group.</p>
<p>About a third of the victims were from Nice&#8217;s large Muslim community, which is both in mourning and fearing a backlash.</p>
<p>The Nice administration issued an order on Thursday banning swimwear with religious connotations, citing security concerns.</p>
<p>Several other cities on France&#8217;s Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts have banned burkinis this summer.</p>
