ISIS Have Claimed Responsibility For the Tunisia Beach Killings of 38 Tourists

ISIS (Islamic State) have claimed responsibility for the Tunisia beach killing of 38 tourists— the majority of them said to be British.

The extremist group have said they were behind the attack in the resort, naming the gunman who targeted Western tourists as Abu Yahya Qayrawani – thought to be the jihadi name of the killer shot dead by authorities after Friday’s attack.

After it became obvious that majority of those killed in the attack were British, UK’s Prime Minister-David Cameron said the country needs to prepare itself for the fact that ‘many of those killed’ in the ‘savage’ Tunisian shooting were British.

According to the Daily Mail; “Eyewitnesses say the gunman was was seen laughing and joking among the midday bathers and sunseekers, looking like any other tourist.

But it was claimed he was carefully selecting the victims he would murder with a Kalashnikov hidden in his parasol.
The British were his prime targets on the crowded Tunisian beachfront at El Kantaoui near Sousse.

But Germans, Belgians and Tunisians were also among his 38 victims – with 36 seriously wounded.

‘He was laughing and joking around, like a normal guy,’ said one witness. ‘He was choosing who to shoot. Some people, he was saying to them ‘you go away’. He was choosing tourists, British, French.'”

Yesterday’s Tunisia massacre coincided 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—ISIS has claimed responsibility for all attacks.

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.
