Tunisia yesterday announced that it had arrested seven people with links to perpetrators of a terrorist attack that took place in Sousse on Sunday.
A police officer was killed and another is receiving treatment in hospital after three men attacked security personnel in the town on Sunday. The attackers were killed on site.
In a statement to Anadolu, judiciary spokesman Sofiane Sliti said: “The Public Prosecution issued, Sunday afternoon, a permission to arrest seven persons in connection to the perpetrators of the terrorist attack. They have been arrested; an executor’s wife, two brothers of another and four individuals in connection to them.”
