The authorities of Tunisia will close 80 mosques for incitement to violence after the terrorist attack on foreign tourists, BBC reports . According to the country's Prime Minister Khabib Essid, these mosques, which are outside state control, "distribute the poison and will be closed within a week."
The responsibility for the attack was taken by the Islamic State group. Her report says that the attack on the beach of the popular Tunisian resort was carried out by the "Soldier of the Caliphate", who managed to overcome all security measures. Islamists previously urged supporters to strengthen the attack during the Muslims of the month of Ramadan.
The terrorist act occurred the day before. According to the latest data, 39 people became its victims . These are mainly foreign tourists from the UK and Germany. More than 30 people, including a Russian tourist, were injured
The attacker - according to the updated data, acting alone - pretended to be a vacationer on the beach. According to eyewitnesses, he hid the Kalashnikov assault rifle in an umbrella from the sun. The attacker opened random shooting at people on the beach, moving to the Imperial Marhaba hotel pool and a lobby. He was killed in a shootout.
