A Tunisian terrorist has killed 37 tourists and injured about 36 at a Beach in the Tunisia today.

The massacre coincides with a suicide bomb at a Shiite mosque in the Kuwaiti capital and a suspected Islamist launching an assault on a gas factory in eastern France.

The assassin is believed to be Seifeddine Yacoubi, 23, an aviation student from the Tunisian city of Kairouan–and he used an AK47, which he was seen holding later on camera while strolling the streets of Sousse, the popular resort town.

The three attacks which took place today marks a new low point in the global terror onslaught. In Kuwait, 25 were killed and more than 200 injured in a suicide bomb – the first attack in the country since 2005.

And in France, the victim was decapitated, the first time that grim method had been used in the country.

So far, Islamic State (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for the Kuwait incident, but the affiliation and inspiration of the other attackers remained unclear.

Isis’s chief spokesman, Abu Mohammad al-Adnani, called on jihadists earlier this week to “make the month of Ramadan a calamity on the apostates” by stepping up attacks and seeking “martyrdom”.

According to MailOnline; “It has emerged that a heroic British man, who was shot three times on the beach during the attack, bravely used his body as a human shield to protect his fiancee from being killed by the maniac gunman.

At least five British tourists were killed during the bloody onslaught and that number is expected to rise, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has said. Lorna Carty from Ireland and 60-year-old James McGuire are thought to be among those deceased.

It has also been reported that a 16-year-old British boy saw his parents and grandmothers gunned down.”
