The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack on Bardo museum which claimed the lives of 20 people, BBC reports.

In a newly released audio message published by Twitter accounts known to be reliable primary sources of IS propaganda, the group said that it was behind the attack.

It also said the attack was carried out by “two knights of the caliphate” and named them as Abu-Zakariya al-Tunisi and Abu-Anas al-Tunisi.

Tunisian authorities have said 9 people have been arrested in connection with the attack, with 4 being directly linked to the attack while 5 had “ties to the cell”.

One of two gunmen involved in the Bardo museum attack, named by Tunisian officials as Yassine Laabidi, was reportedly known to the authorities.

Laabidi and his accomplice, Hatem Khachnaoui, were killed as security forces stormed the museum.

Reports say an al-Qaeda operative claimed that the two gunmen had spent two months training with Islamist militants in Derna, eastern Libya, before slipping back into Tunisia.

Yesterday, gun men dressed in military uniforms and opened fire on tourists killing 23 people in total, with 20 of them being foreigners.
