Investigators say they are searching for one or more accomplices in the attack on a luxury hotel in the Tunisian resort city of Sousse that killed at least 38 people, some of them sunbathers on the beach.
The Interior Ministry’s spokesman says Sunday that investigators are “sure” the attacker, a 24-year-old student killed in the assault on the Imperial Marhaba Hotel, had help.
Mohammed Ali Aroui tells The Associated Press that “we are sure that others helped but did not participate” except indirectly.
The Islamic State releases a picture online it says is of the Tunisian gunman who mowed down at least 37 people, most of them tourists, on June 26, 2015, at a beach resort in Sousse, Tunisia. He was named as Seifeddine Yacoubi, 23, from Kairouan, also known as Abu Yahya Qayrawani by IS. Authorities later named him as Seifedinne Rezgui
He says the father of the attacker, identified as Seifeddine Rezgui, and three roommates in Kairouan where he studied have been detained for questioning.
