7 alleged accomplices arrested in relation to Tunisian beach massacre
Tunisian authorities reportedly arrested seven alleged accomplices in connection with gunman Seifeddine Rezgui, 24, who killed 38 in the Tunisian resort town of Sousse last Friday. The suspected accomplices — who are thought to have provided Rezgui with the support and weapons for the attack — were brought to the capital for questioning from at least three different cities, according to a source not authorized to be speaking publicly about the ongoing investigation.
More men have joined the Islamic State from Tunisia than any other nation, with many returning home again afterward. The Islamic State claimed credit for the attack in Sousse.
