Tunisia is beefing up security measures after a gunman went on a shooting spree at a hotel. Leaving dozens dead. The attacker, disguised as a tourist, opened fire on people relaxing by the pool and on the beach. A tranquil holiday setting was turned into a scene of terror. In a televised address, Tunisian Prime MInister Habib Essid said it is a “national duty” to fight extremism. Moves are now being made to close down 80 mosques, that remain outside state control, for inciting violence and to crack down on financing channels for some associations. The attack happened at the Imperial Marhaba hotel in Sousse, a popular beach resort around 140 kilometers south of the capital Tunis.
