A THIRD attacker in the massacre of tourists in Tunisia鈥檚 national museum is on the run, President Beji Caid Essebsi said yesterday, vowing to track him down.
鈥淒efinitely there were three,鈥 Essebsi told France鈥檚 iTele television and Europe 1 radio. 鈥淭wo were killed, but there is one who is now on the run,鈥 he said. 鈥淚n any case, he will not get very far.鈥
The attack on the Bardo museum in Tunis on Wednesday killed 21 people, all but one of them foreign tourists, and was claimed by the Islamic State group.
It came as Tunisia 鈥 the birthplace of the Arab Spring 鈥 struggles with rising Islamic extremism.
Authorities on Saturday released CCTV footage from the attack showing two gunmen with automatic weapons walking unimpeded through a large lobby, with a time stamp showing just after noon.
Authorities say as many as 3,000 Tunisians have gone to Iraq, Syria and Libya to join IS and other jihadist groups, raising fears of returning battle-hardened militants plotting attacks.
