Tunisia's president Beji Essebsi has declared a state of emergency just over a week after an ISIS Gunman slaughtered 38 people on a popular holiday resort in Sousse, Tunisia on June 26,2015
It
temporarily gives the government the power to restrict certain freedoms
such as people's right to protest and it also grants the police and
army more authority.
Tunisia's government has promised new laws to increase police powers and hand out harsher penalties for terrorism convictions
The country's prime minister promised to post armed guards at tourist sites and close mosques outside government control
Seifeddine
Rezgui was shot dead by police after he opened fire on a beach packed
with holidaymakers and chased them into a nearby hotel, where he threw
hand grenades at them
Tunisian
detectives investigating his final hours have now arrested his
girlfriend over fears she helped plan the attack, as well as a taxi
driver they believe drove him to the spot of the onslaught
It
has also emerged that the ISIS militant was spotted on the same beach
just two weeks before the heinous attack which ended in him being shot
dead by the police.
