Two British tourists feared to be among eight dead in terrorist attack on Tunisian museum: Two attackers and one policeman also killed as armed officers bring siege to an end.
Two Britons are feared dead after armed gunmen killed eight people in Tunisia and took another 30 hostage.
Seven of those killed were foreigners, with unconfirmed reports suggesting two were Britons as well as French, Spanish and Italian among the casualties.
The country's parliament, which sits adjacent to the country's Bardo Museum, was today filled with leading politicians and swiftly evacuated after the shooting broke out.
Witnesses described seeing the gunmen ramming their car into the building and opening fire indiscriminately.
It is believed several hundred people may have fled the museum, while another 20 - 30 remained as hostages as anti-terrorist security team members this afternoon entered the museum.
While it has not yet been confirmed, various social media accounts linked to ISIS sympathizers this afternoon claimed responsibility for the attack.
