Terror Attack On Museum In Tunisia Leaves 21 Dead

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

At least three gunmen stormed a museum in Tunisia Wednesday attacking tourists and leaving at least 21 people dead.

The scene at the National Bardo Museum in Tunis was described as “horrific” by witnesses.  In addition to the 21 confirmed dead, at least 21 others were wounded.

Officials say that 17 tourists are among the dead.

The government took the unusual step of taking tourists to a secured location for their safety while a manhunt took place for the shooters.

Tunisia’s internor ministry said the standoff with the gunmen ended when security forces stormed the museum.  The attack was from “two or more terrorists armed with Kalashinkovs.”  Local radio said the terrorists were in military-style clothing.

Witnesses say that many of the tourists were Italians who were part of a cruise that had docked in Tunis for the day.

The attackers were not immediately identified but Tunisia has been dealing with attacks by various Islamic terrorist groups, including several who have pledged support for ISIS.
