Tunisia Bardo Museum Massacre: A News Roundup



Al Jazeera: Tunisia says museum attack plotters trained in Libya

Security chief reveals gunmen who killed 21 people in Tunis left country for training in neighbouring Libya in December.

The two gunmen who killed 21 people in an attack on foreign tourists at a museum in Tunisia's capital trained at a camp for fighters in Libya, the country's secretary of state for security said.

"They left the country illegally last December for Libya and they were able to train with weapons there," Rafik Chelly told the private AlHiwar Ettounsi television channel.

The two gunmen were named by authorities as Yassine Abidi and Hatem Khachnaoui and were killed in a security operation that followed the assault on the museum.
