From France to Tunisia: the Black Friday of terrorism

The Black Friday of the attacks. From France to Tunisia, the Mediterranean trembles in the face of terrorism, which first caused one death in Lyon, in the south of France, and then at least 30 victims slaughtered on the beach of two luxury resorts in Sousse, in the Gulf of Hammamet, in Tunisia. 

While theFrench bombing it's already been claimed by ISIS (the attacker had the flag of the caliphate with him), of the massacre in the African country it is known for now that some armed men attacked the beach, opening fire wildly against tourists and employees of theHotel Riu Imperial Marhaba and the Port el Kantaoui.

There is still an uncertain number of victims, but at least 30 people were reportedly killed according to interior ministry sources cited by France Presse. Certainly one of the bombers was shot dead (but there were at least two), while at least seven foreign tourists were killed.

Sousse, 150 kilometers from Tunis, is a very popular tourist destination for both Tunisians and Europeans. There are no details on the nationality of the victims, the Farnesina is verifying the presence of Italians. During the fasting month of Ramadan, there are generally a large majority of foreign tourists on the beaches.
