Terrorist attack in Tunis

[Horus]

Breaking news is that at least 8 people, described as tourists have been killed in an attack on a museum in Tunis. It is suspected that ISIS is behind the atrocity. Tunisia is by far the biggest contributor of people joining the ISIS group in Syria and recently a prominent Tunisian terrorist leader was killed by the coalition, more problems for the Arab world and no doubt another dent in their tourism figures.

Haven't had the TV news on much this morning as I've been a bit busy but I do believe in the snippet I heard there was something like 19 injured.

Totally awful however I have to admit I've been waiting to hear of high density tourist areas coming under attack. It, of course, give ISIS high profile coverage and multinational targets.

Hopefully these animals will put out of their misery. Honestly I would like to think rehab would work but I just can't see anybody willing to try. They need to be stopped.

Unfortunately, 19 dead and 17 of them were tourists! Not good!

Wow - maybe it WAS 19 killed. Didn't catch it clearly. Terrible, absolutely terrible.

How awful --- this IS lot has got out of hand ... and the governments are to blame with their pussyfooting about. When these arabs admit they have a problem, oh, hang on .. they know and approve - - - ( written by an infidel)

Unfortunately that is part of the problem, their adherance to the teachings and interpretations of a very backward religion do not help and many in the Arab world support the aims of ISIS.

Report here now is that 22 have died.

I've lost the ability to even say how atrocious this is.

So far nobody is taking responsibility however my understanding is that Tunisia has quite a bit of extremist activity going on. News here is saying that Twitter info indicates there have been warnings that the infidels should avoid the prime tourist sites and they're also saying ISIS or Ansar Al-Sharia.

What gets me is the posting of the outcome of these attacks on social media showing all the gore.

[Jayway]

LLL. maybe thats a good thing ? - hopefully people will wake up when they see the gory result of these attacks.

@ Jayway - I'd like to think that there has already been enough bloodshed by these barbarians to have the entire world up in arms but for whatever reason it doesn't seem to be the case. Am not too sure how much more killing has to happen before everybody does wake up and take combined action to curtail ISIS.

I mean too the USA has a President that can't even call ISIS what they really are - terrorists.
