Tunisia declares state of emergency after hotel attack

Tunisia President Beji Caid Essebsi declared a state of emergency on Saturday following an Islamic militant gun attack on a Sousse beach hotel, where 38 foreign tourists, mostly Britons, were killed, TAP news agency said, citing the president's office. 
A state of emergency temporarily gives the government more flexibility and the army and police more authority, and restricts the right of public assembly
