Third Tunis Bardo Museum attacker 'on the run' | |
(34 minutes later) | |
A third attacker is still "on the run" after the deadly Bardo Museum attack in which 25 people died, Tunisia's president said in a live TV interview. | |
"There were certainly three attackers... there is one who is on the run, he won't get far," President Beji Caid Essebsi said on Sunday. | |
Suspects have been arrested over the attack but just two gunmen were thought to have assaulted the museum. | |
The news comes after a video was released of the pair roaming the Bardo. | |
The gunmen are said to have been trained in Libya in an area controlled by Islamic State (IS) militants. | |
IS has said it was behind the attack on the museum, which is next to the country's parliament. | |
Tunisia has seen an upsurge in Islamist extremism since the 2011 revolution that ousted dictator Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali and sparked the Arab Spring. |
