Twenty Eight Dead in Beach Resort Terror Attack in Sousse, Tunisia
At least 28 people, mostly foreign tourists, have been killed when gunmen opened fire on a beach in the resort town of Sousse, located 140 kilometers southern the capital Tunis.
Police killed one of the gunmen, while local media reported the arrest of another suspect.
This is the second attack targeting foreign tourists in the span of less than four months, after militants killed 22 tourists and a police officer in an attack on the Bardo Museum in the capital Tunis on 18 March.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.

ISIS also claimed its responsibility for the Bardo Museum attack in March.
