Tunisia holds eight over Sousse attack on tourists

Twelve suspects have been arrested in connection with last Friday's deadly attack in the Tunisian resort of Sousse. 

A government official said security forces are still hunting for two men suspected of having trained in Libya with the gunman who killed 38 people. 

Most of those killed on a beach in Sousse were from the UK, along with other European holiday makers.  

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack. Tunisia's government fears the attack will destroy its tourism industry which is the country's biggest foreign currency earner.  

In March, two gunmen also killed 22 people at the famous Bardo museum in Tunisia's capital, Tunis.
