Tunis - At least 19 people have been killed after at least one
gunman attacked a Tunisian tourist hotel in the popular resort of
Sousse, an interior ministry official said on Friday.
Details of
the attack, which a local security source at the scene and radio
reported was on the Imperial Marhaba hotel, were still emerging.
The
body of one gunman lay at the scene with a Kalashnikov assault rifle
after he was shot in an exchange of gunfire with police, the source
said.
Sousse is one of Tunisia's most popular beach resorts, drawing visitors from Europe and neighbouring North African countries.
Tunisia
has been on high alert since March when Islamist militant gunmen
attacked the Bardo museum in Tunis, killing a group of foreign tourists
in one of the worst attacks in a decade in the North African country.
