ISIS claims responsibility for Tunisia attack

(IraqiNews.com) The ISIS group has claimed responsibility Thursday for the museum attack that left 23 people dead in the Tunisian capital the previous day.

In an audio message released by the group, ISIS claimed it carried out the attack on the Bardu National Museum in the Tunisian capital and threatened further violence. “Wait for the glad tidings of what will harm you … For what you have seen today is the first drop of the rain,” the message reads.

“The security forces were able to arrest four people with direct connection to the operation and five suspected of having ties to the cell,” AFP quoted officials on Thursday.

At least 44 people from Italy, France, Japan, Britain, South Africa, Poland, Belgium and Russia were wounded, officials said.
