Islamic State group 'claims' responsibility for Tunisia attack


The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attack that killed 21 people at a Tunis museum on Thursday.  Two gunmen armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles fired indiscrimately at tourists inside the National Bardo Museum in Tunis. In claiming responsibility for the attack, IS issued a statement and audio on jihadi websites applauding the dead gunmen as "knights" for their "blessed invasion of one of the dens of infidels and vice in Muslim Tunisia".

The dead terrorists, who were dressed in sweatshirts and trainers, were identified as Hatem al-Khashnawi and Yassin al-Abidi, both reportedly Tunisian.
Several well-armed groups in neighbouring and chaotic Libya have already pledged their allegiance to IS based in Iraq and Syria
