Tunisia beach gunman had worked in tourism

The Tunisian gunman behind the June 26 attack at a resort that killed 38 foreigners had worked in the tourism industry, Tunisian Prime Minister Habib Essid said.

Seifeddine Rezgui, 23, opened fire in the resort town of Sousse with a Kalashnikov and grenades, killing at least 38 people.

Habib Essis, the prime minister, said that the gunman, who was once a keen breakdancer, had been employed as an entertainer in the past.

The attack at Port El Kantaoui, north of Sousse, killed 30 Britons, three Irish nationals, two Germans, one Belgian, one Portuguese and a Russian.

The assailant was himself later shot dead by police.
