Tunisia authorities quiz seven suspected associates of gunman

Authorities in Tunisia are quizzing seven suspected associates of gunman Seifeddine Rezgui, the 23-year-old student who shot dead 38 people on the beach in the resort of Sousse on Friday.

Tunisian secretary of state for the interior ministry Rafik Chelli said it had been established that Rezgui had visited a jihadi training camp in Sabratha, western Libya, at the same time as the two attackers who killed 22 at the Bardo Museum in the country’s capital, Tunis, in March.

“It has been confirmed that the attacker trained in Libya with weapons at the same period as the Bardo attackers,” said Mr Chelli.
