Newstalk reporting it aswell explosion and other incident on beach tourists hold up in hotel rooms

JONJO THE MISER

Guests talking now in sky locked in hotel room with gunmen on the loose.
Something needs to be done about these savages.

RobertKK

Claims from a person in Tunisia that people lying on their sunbeds were shot, - speculation as it is not confirmed.
The person sounds like a machine gun was used.

Streetwalker

Man seen on beach with assault rifle according to report. Tourists trapped in hotels. Maybe Mods could move this into new thread seems unrelated to French attack.

RobertKK

Numerous casualties in Tunisia.

JONJO THE MISER

One gunman killed but seems multiple dead.

Same crowd responsible for both, they should have their own sticky at this stage.

" A lot of dead in Tunisia" according to reports on RT.

Boom_Bap

I've moved all discussion from the latest French attack thread to here.

Here is a story from RTE on what is known from the attacke today
http://www.rte.ie/news/2015/0626/710815-tunisia-attack/

take everything

I'm surprised Tunisia has any tourism industry at all given how troubled the region is.

It's amazing the number of people who don't realise that large swathes of Africa and the Middle East are burning as we speak.

Thrill

I've read that 2 hotels have been attacked. Gunmen killed at least 7 people.

JONJO THE MISER

7 dead.

Streetwalker

Explosion in one hotel according to eye witness on news.

seanaway

Sky report:Photographs have been seen by Sky News showing a man in his 60s or 70s lying in a pool of blood in his swimming shorts.

JCX BXC

RTE news reporting at least 7 dead.

Any Irish among the casualties?

Just saw pic on Twitter of man lying dead on the beach, sun beds flung around.

Jeez, I was lying on a beach relaxing less than two weeks ago. Not in Tunisia, it's seriously cheap to go there but always had a niggling feeling about booking it.

I hope not but I suppose it could be anyone. All tourists according to reports could be as many as twelve dead and one gunman dead thus far.

Explosion report could have been gunshot now according guy on sky news.

Unknown at this time

Unverified pic on Twitter of a man lying dead in the road. Believed to be one of the gunmen.

Streetwalker

Explosions now reported as grenades. One ape still on the loose.

SeaFields

Newstalk reporting it's now 19 dead. Frightening stuff. I know plenty of people who go there for hols every year.

JCX BXC

At least 19 dead now being reported.

I don't think Europe/Nato ...etc can ignore this ISIS situation for much longer. This is beginning.

tastyt

These Scumbags need to be blown to bits by the rest of the world.

I don't want to hear about big bad America and how they are as bad as anyone. We need the US, like it or not. It's getting very close to home now ( France ).

If something happens in London and Irish are killed we will be pleading with the UK and US to stop these ****ers. These animals don't understand reason or rational talks. You have to meet fire with fire at some stage and pick a side.
And when it comes these scum and America, I know who's side I'm on.

Niemoj

Watching the reports on this on Sky News.

Horrible stuff.

That's what they want, boots on the ground. It would be playing into these apes hands.

19 dead 6 wounded Jesus

JCX BXC

I've heard all this "you need to blow them to bits" all before. How do you blow them to bits without killing alot of innocent civilians?

Now at 27

seanaway

27 dead

failinis

BBC News - 19 dead At least one gunman has been shot dead and another is being pursued, officials say.

Guardian names it as Imperial Marhaba hotel, a source and local radio said

Go team America :rolleyes:

What we need are tighter border controls and to stop getting involved in the affairs of the middle east. Then we target the extremists who are already here and remove/kill them. Why would we go to war with these fools in their back yard if it's never worked before?

Easily said from the comfort of your armchair while they murder innocent people. And when it's in France it's no longer a middle east contained issue

Exactly. Apes don't engage in mass murder for political reasons.
