ISIS Leaves 38 People Dead After Ramadan Execution-Style Terror Attack In Tunisia
ISIS has claimed responsibility, releasing a picture of a man they say is Abu Yahya Qayrawani
This is the face of the man who slaughtered holidaymakers as they sunbathed on a Tunisian beach, killing 38 – the majority of them said to be British.

Islamic extremists ISIS have said they were behind the attack in the resort, naming the gunman who targeted Western tourists as Abu Yahya Qayrawani – thought to be the jihadi name of the killer shot dead by authorities after Friday’s attack.
The Tunisian Prime Minister said the ‘majority’ of the fatalities were British, as the number of Britons confirmed dead rose to eight.
Prime Minister David Cameron has said the country needs to prepare itself for the fact that ‘many of those killed’ in the ‘savage’ Tunisian shooting were British, as the first British victim was named as Carly Lovett, 24.
Eyewitnesses say the gunman was was seen laughing and joking among the midday bathers and sunseekers, looking like any other tourist. But it was claimed he was carefully selecting the victims he would murder with a Kalashnikov hidden in his parasol.
The British were his prime targets on the crowded Tunisian beachfront at El Kantaoui near Sousse. Because of the Ramadan religious period, there were few Tunisians on the beach and few children because most schools have yet to break up.
Houcine Jenayah, a businessman, said the gunman arrived at speed on an inflatable Zodiac boat.
‘He opened fire and had grenades with him,’ said Mr Jenayah. ‘He hid his Kalashnikov behind a parasol that he had in his hand.’
Within minutes of the massacre, photographs had been posted on an Instagram account showing a middle-aged man wearing blue shorts lying face down in the sand with a pool of blood around his head.
Zohra Driss, owner of the Marhaba, confirmed the gunman started firing from the beach before moving on to the hotel swimming pool. Last night it was claimed that around 15 young Tunisians had been stopped from travelling to Belgrade and 30 others banned from travelling to Istanbul for reasons that were not disclosed. source
