Pics: Terrorist attack at Tunisia Museum, Seven foreigners, Tunisian killed

Seven foreigners and a Tunisian were killed on Wednesday in an attack by two men armed with assault rifles on the Tunisian capital's famed Bardo Museum, the interior ministry said. "A terrorist attack (targeted) the Bardo Museum," ministry spokesman Mohamed Ali Aroui told reporters, adding that the assault was carried out by "two or more terrorists armed with Kalashnikovs". "There are eight victims" including "seven foreigners", Aroui said, adding that about 100 tourists had been inside the museum at the time of the attack. "The majority of tourists were evacuated," he said. He refused to confirm reports of a hostage taking inside the museum, but added "There is information according to which there are still tourists" inside.
