Death toll in Tunisia attacks climbs to 37 — local TV
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe death toll in the Islamist attacks on a beachfront resort in Sousse, Tunisia earlier today climbs to 37, according to local TV reports.
At least 39 are injured.
According to reports, a young man unfurled an umbrella and pulled out a Kalashnikov, opening fire on European sunbathers at the Tunisian beach resort.
The killings in Tunisia happened at about the same time as a bombing at a Shiite mosque in Kuwait and an attack on a US-owned factory in France that included a beheading.
It is unclear if the violence is linked but it came days after the IS militants urged their followers “to make Ramadan a month of calamities for the nonbelievers.”
