Tunis, July 2 (IANS): Twelve suspects have been arrested in connection with last week's terrorist attack that left 38 people dead at a beach hotel in Tunisia's Sousse city, a minister said.
A hunt is on for two more suspects, Lazhar Akremi, minister for parliamentary relations, told media late Wednesday.
The two suspects, the 23-year-old gunman Seiffedine Rezgui who staged the Sousse attack, and the attackers who targeted the Bardo Museum in March that killed 23 people, all are believed to have received training in Libya, Akremi said.
The government on Tuesday released photos of the two fugitives, identified as Rafkhe Talari and Bin Abdallah, though their connection with Rezgui, the deceased gunman, was not clear, Xinhua news agency reported.
"This is a group who was trained in Libya, and who had the same objective," Akremi said.
