    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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