Tunisia resort attack: Gunman got help from others

London, June 29: The gunman, who killed 38 people at a beach resort near the Tunisian city of Sousse, received help from others in carrying out the attack, officials said. Tunisian Interior Ministry spokesman Mohamed Ali Aroui said authorities were "sure" that Seifeddine Rezgui had accomplices who provided him the Kalashnikov rifle, BBC reported on Monday. Security officials said Rezgui, who posed as a swimmer, was carrying a rifle under a parasol and started shooting on the beach before entering the Hotel Imperial Marhaba. On Sunday, officials confirmed that out of the 38 victims, 30 were from Britain. British police have said that 16 police officers have been deployed to Tunisia and hundreds more were working on the case in Britain in one of the largest counter-terrorism investigations since the 2005 London bombings.
