Deadly Attack In Tunisia Condemned

ISIS has released an image of the suicide bomber they claim launched an attack on the Tunisian presidential guard bus yesterday.

Madani expressed his solidarity with Tunisia and said such acts of terrorism are seeking to alter the country’s “moderation and tolerance-driven model of society”. The Confederation Cup is Africa’s second biggest club competition behind the Champions League.

The statement said a suicide bomber blew up his explosive vest on the bus.

ISIL said a Tunisian, named as Abou Abdallah Al Tounissi, had boarded the bus wearing an explosives belt only a few hundred metres from the interior ministry as it picked up guards on their way to work.

Tunisia is faced with an ultimatum: accept the political settlement option and amend the government or move towards further estrangement between the political and intellectual sectors to repeat the mistakes of the Egyptian and Libyan models.

The video in which the claim was made, whose authenticity could not be confirmed, claimed the young shepherd gave information on “the soldiers of the Islamic State” to the Tunisian army.

“The Secretary-General reiterates that the United Nations will continue to stand with the people of Tunisia as they confront the scourge of terrorism and continue to consolidate and strengthen their democracy”, the statement said.

That was imposed in June after an IS gunman massacred 38 foreign tourists at the Mediterranean resort of Sousse.

Other countries declared their support for Tunisia during this time.

The country is still reeling from two major deadly attacks which took place earlier this year.

Based on everything that has been outlined so far, it is now clear, that the Islamist militants pose a serious challenge for the country, especially since tourism will likely decrease.

The blast was the third major attack by militants in Tunisia this year and the first serious assault on the security forces in the capital since jihadists began a campaign of violence in 2011.

The White House is condemning an attack in Tunisia that left more than a dozen people dead, for which the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is claiming responsibility.
