[BBC] The gunman who killed 38 at a beach near the Tunisian city of Sousse had help in carrying out the attack, officials say.
Interior ministry front man Mohammed Ali Aroui said authorities were "sure" that Seifeddine Rezgui had had accomplices.
The government has announced increased security measures after the attack claimed by Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (IS).
On Sunday the BBC learned that at least 30 of the dead were from the UK, the majority of those killed.
UK police say that 16 coppers have been deployed to Tunisia and hundreds more are working on the case in the UK in one of the largest counter-terrorism investigations since the 2005 London bombings.
Tunisian Sherlocks believe the suspected accomplices provided the Kalashnikov assault rifle to Rezgui and helped him get to the scene, Mr Ali Aroui told AP.
He added that police were questioning Rezgui's father and three roommates, although he did not say any of them were suspected of involvement in the attack.
Neighbours and relatives in Rezgui's hometown of Gaafour have been telling journalists at their shock over his actions.
"Who could imagine he would commit such a horror?" uncle Ali Rezgui told Rooters.
"Maybe he was changed where he studied, maybe it was something on the internet. But we just don't have any answers," he added.
Tunisian authorities say army reservists will be deployed to tourist sites and that around 80 mosques accused of inciting violence will be closed within a week.
Friday's attack was the deadliest in Tunisia's recent history. In March, turbans killed 22 people, mainly foreigners, at the Bardo museum in the capital Tunis.

[Hurriyet Daily News] Hundreds of armed police patrolled the streets of Tunisia's beach resorts on June 28 and the government said it will deploy hundreds more inside hotels after the Islamist krazed killer attack in Sousse that killed 39 foreigners, mostly Britons.
Thousands of tourists have left Tunisia since the attack on June 26, which has shocked the North African country that relies heavily on tourism for jobs and foreign currency revenues.
Britannia's Foreign Office warned late on June 27 that Islamist bully boyz may launch further attacks in Tunisia after a gunman opened fire on the Imperial Marhaba resort in the deadliest such attack in Tunisia's modern history.
At least 15 Britons were among the dead and maimed along with German, Irish and Belgian nationals in Sousse. The health ministry says at least 40 people were maimed without giving any details of their nationalities.
"We are going to deploy 1,000 armed police to protect hotels and tourists," Tunisian Interior Minister Najem Gharsalli told news hounds late on Saturday night.
Since its 2011 uprising to oust Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali, Tunisia has made a peaceful transition to democracy with a new constitution and free elections. It is seen as a model for the region.
But its young democracy has also been tested by the rise of hardline Islamist movements, some of which have turned to violence. The army has been fighting a campaign against pockets of Islamist bully boyz near the Algerian border.
State news agency TAP said gunnies raided houses for food in El Kef, a northeastern city about 160 km (100 miles) from the coast and 40 km from the Algerian border, before heading to the mountains that separate the two countries. TAP gave no further details.
Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has claimed the Sousse attack. But officials say the gunman, named as Saif Rezgui, was not any watchlist of known potential krazed killers. One source said he appeared to have been radicalised over the last six months by recruiters.
It was the second major attack in Tunisia this year, following an Islamist krazed killer assault on the Bardo Museum in Tunis in March when gunnies killed a group of foreign visitors as they arrived by bus.

[REUTERS] The interior ministry said the driver of the Japanese-made car, who left the mosque immediately after Friday's bombing, was an illegal resident named Abdul-Rahman Sabah Aidan. The phrasing of its statement suggests Aidan is belongs to the "Bidoon", a large underclass in Kuwait lacking citizenship and access to jobs.
The interior ministry, which had earlier reported the vehicle owner's arrest, said Aidan, 26, was found hiding in one of the houses in the al-Riqqa residential area.
"Initial investigations showed that the owner of the house is a supporter of the deviant ideology," the ministry said, employing a term often used by authorities in the Gulf Arab region to refer to hardline Islamist militants.
The owner of the house, a Kuwaiti citizen, was also detained, the ministry said.
Officials said the bombing was clearly meant to stir enmity between majority Sunnis and minority Shi'ites and harm the comparatively harmonious ties between the sects in Kuwait.
Shi'ites are between 15 and 30 percent of the population of Kuwait, a mostly Sunni country where members of both communities live side by side with little apparent friction.
Kuwait is a conservative Muslim country where alcohol is banned, but it is less strict than Saudi Arabia on issues such as women's rights and freedom of religion.
Kuwaitis reacted with outrage to the bombing. Some said citizens who fund Islamist armed groups fighting in Syria and Iraq were to blame for any militancy in Kuwait.
"The wrath of God will come upon ISIS and everyone who is supporting them and collecting funds for them under the cover of helping refugees and orphans," wrote Hamad al-Baghli, a Kuwaiti, on Twitter.
Kuwait has been one of the biggest humanitarian donors to Syrian refugees through the United Nations, but it has also struggled to control unofficial fund-raising for opposition groups in Syria by private individuals.
Abdulrahman al-Jeeran, a parliamentarian and member of the ultra conservative Salafi branch of Islam, told Reuters lawmakers should stop "sectarian discourse" and be prevented from using sectarian issues for electoral gains.

[Iran Press TV] Yassin Salhi, the man suspected of beheading his employer in a recent terrorist attack in La Belle France, has confessed to his crime, with reports saying he was being escorted home for further investigation.
According to AFP on Monday, the 35-year-old suspect, a truck driver reportedly carrying an ISIL flag during the attack, confessed to murdering his boss, Herve Cornara, in a parking lot of a gas factory.
Salhi murdered his boss an hour before he drove to the American group Air Products factory in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier near the French city of Lyon situated in the southeastern part of the country, sources told the news outlet.
The suspect began speaking to Sherlocks after initially refusing to do so, Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre, a spokeswoman for the Gay Paree prosecutor's office, told the local media.
She reportedly declined, however, to provide further details.
After confessing to the attack, Salhi was escorted by police into his residence in the town of Saint-Priest, outside Lyon.
According to AP, police searched for Salhi's passport, to determine if he had traveled abroad before the attack.

[FOXNEWS] The man suspected of beheading a French businessman took a selfie photo with his victim and sent the message through WhatsApp to a Canadian cell phone, officials said Saturday.
French Sherlocks are working to determine the identity of the recipient, but were not sure whether it was an unspecified person who is now in Syria.
The revelation has done more to revive concerns about terrorism in La Belle France than it's added to whether there is a link between the terror attack to radical groups, the paper reports.
The main suspect in the killing is Yassin Salhi, a truck driver with a history of Islamic ties. He was tossed in the calaboose Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! and detained Friday after police say he crashed a truck into a US-owned chemical plant and hung his employer's severed head on a factory gate. Police also detained his sister and wife. The three are in police custody in Lyon.
One official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named the selfie was forwarded via WhatsApp, a popular instant messaging app, to a Canadian phone number.
Jean-Christophe de Le Rue, a front man for Canada's public safety minister, didn't specify too much on the case but did confirm that Canadian authorities were assisting the French in the investigation.
Despite mimicking the practices of Islamic holy warriors, no foreign group has grabbed credit for the attack. The attack also came days after the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

A fourth person arrested in possible connection with the beheading was released without being charged. French anit-terror laws say Salhi and his wife and sister can be held for up to four days before being released or handed charges.

[IsraelTimes] Yassin Salhi begins talking to Sherlocks after apparently beheading boss Herve Cornara at a factory near Lyon, sending picture of severed head via WhatsApp
French police questioned a suspected Islamist Saturday about an attack in which the man displayed his boss's severed head, as it emerged he may have sent a "selfie" of the decapitation.
Sources close to the investigation said the suspect, Yassin Salhi, a 35-year-old married father-of-three sent a picture of him with the severed head of Herve Cornara, 54, via the WhatsApp messaging service.
The message was sent to a Canadian number but Sherlocks said they were still working to determine the final recipient, as the number used could be a relay. Jean-Christophe de Le Rue, a front man for Canada's Public Safety Minister, confirmed that Canadian authorities are involved in the case.
"While I cannot comment on operational matters of national security, we are assisting the French authorities with their investigation," he said. He declined to comment further on details of the investigation.
Salhi as well as his sister and wife remained in police custody in the city of Lyon, a day after he allegedly crashed a truck into a US-owned chemical warehouse and hung his employer's severed head on a factory gate, officials said.
Suspect begins to talk
Salhi began speaking to Sherlocks late Saturday, a close source to the case said.
"He had remained silent but he changed his stance... and began to explain the sequence of events," the source said.
No jihadist group has claimed Friday's attack, which came on the same day as a massacre at a Tunisian beach resort in which 38 people were bumped off and a suicide kaboom in Kuwait that killed 26. The other two attacks have been claimed by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group.
However, women are made to be loved, not understood... sources close to the investigation said Salhi was radicalized at the start of the century after contact with a man suspected of preparing attacks in Indonesia with Al-Qaeda Lion of Islams.
[Hurriyet Daily News] In response to claims that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... would be conducting a cross-border military operation in Syria, the Turkish foreign minister said any necessary announcements about the issue would be made after the National Security Council (MGK) meeting, which will be held June 29.
"We have a MGK meeting tomorrow; we will make the necessary announcements afterwards," state-run Anadolu Agency reported Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu as saying on June 28 in the Black Sea province of Ordu's Ünye district, neither accepting nor denying any of the claims.
Hurriyet Daily News reported June 27 that Turkey's government wanted more active military action to support the Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... (FSA) against the Syrian regime and both Kurdish and jihadist forces in Syrian territory, but the military was reluctant to do so, playing for time as the country heads for a new coalition government.
According to HDN sources, who asked not to be named, the "active support" that Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu's government seeks from the military ranges from long-range artillery fire (not only in retaliatory terms) against the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

Chief of General Staff Gen. Necdet Özel has delayed the government directive with justifications of international law and politics, in addition to uncertainty of reactions from the Bashir al-Assad regime in Syria, as well as from its supporters, Russia and Iran, and the United States. The government has been conducting dialogue to convince the army to act.

[DAWN] Leaked Saudi diplomatic cables reveal that the country's embassy in Islamabad remained in touch with the Haqqani network and also helped arrange a visit for the Lion of Islam group's leader for medical treatment.
The cables, published by WikiLeaks, have provided a rare insight into the contacts between Saudi officials and the Haqqani network in the recent past, even though the two are said to have had a long-standing relationship, going back to the days of CIA-funded jihad in Afghanistan.
The Saudi foreign ministry had -- in a statement released after WikiLeaks started publishing the cables -- expressed concern

Israeli forces intercepted the Gaza-bound boat Marianne late Sunday night. The boat is currently en route to the Ashdod port.
Two additional boats making their way to the Gaza coast turned back after the interception. It was not clear whether they were returning to their ports in Greece or if they planned to resume their sail to Gaza at a later time.
Naval commandos from the Shayetet 13 unit searched the boat after the successful takeover. According to military sources, the ship is expected to dock in Ashdod within the next 12 to 24 hours, depending on weather and sea conditions.
After arriving in Ashdod, the passengers will be interrogated before being escorted to Ben-Gurion Airport and flown out of Israel.

[Iran Press TV] Former CIA and NSA head Michael Hayden says Iran has "the upper hand" heading into final talks between the P5+1 group of countries and Tehran over its nuclear energy program.
"I would actually fear that the Iranians have the upper hand right now," Hayden said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday.
"I would hope this is not the final round of talks," added Hayden, former Director of the National Security Agency, Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council -- Russia, China, La Belle France, Britannia and the US -- plus Germany are holding talks in Vienna to finalize the text of a possible historic deal over Tehran's nuclear program by the end of June.

All in accordance with regime and Klingon central planning as Iran becomes a U.S. regional proxy and the Bush legacy of ending the brutal Saddam era is rubbished. The nuclear talks are little more than a meaningless sideshow and diversion.
#2
I hardly think Iran is going to become "a U.S. regional proxy."
At best, the Klingons, the WH, and the realpolitik community will get a semblance of the 'common interest relationship' they desire. More likely, it'll end up being a disaster for the next administration to deal with.

[ALMANAR.LB] The majority of Lion of Islam factions leaders were killed in Syrian army Arclight airstrikes that targeted the so-called "Southern Storm" murderous Moslems leadership headquarter in Gharaz prison near Sawame', southeast of Daraa, sources told Al-Manar TV.
The field sources confirmed that a military figure from the MOC operations center was injured during the meeting which was being held to prepare for Daraa attack.
The meeting brought together leaders of "Al-Nusra Front", "Muthanna movement", "Al-Izz Brigades", and the "Free Syrian Army". ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... the majority of the dead were members of Al-Nusra.
According to SANA, the Syrian army established full control over Tal al-Sheikh Hussein in the northeastern countryside of the southern province of Daraa.
A military source told SANA that an army unit carried out intensified operations against al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... front and other terrorist organizations in Tal al-Sheikh Hussein. Dozens of bad boyz were potted and injured, while scores of them fled towards the villages of Um Walad and al-Kark al-Sharqi, leaving their army and ammunition behind, according to the source.
Meanwhile, ...back at the cheese factory, there was only one thought in the mouse's mind: I can do this! I can do this! Then the trap sprung... SANA said, four terrorist factions of the so called "Al-Mo'taz Brigade" beat feet from Naima town, and terrorist groups from "Displaced Camp" after a large number of them were killed in festivities among themselves in the southern city of Daraa and its countryside.
In Daraa city, an army unit killed 30 murderous Moslems of the so called "Horan Martyrs Squads" and destroyed three of their vehicles equipped with machineguns, two rocket launch pads at the vicinity of Daraa city's electricity establishment.

[ABC] The atrocities committed by ISIS are so horrific that a high-profile al Qaeda member from America purportedly addressed the group directly in a new al Qaeda publication and told them that if they keep it up, Allah will not grant them paradise in the afterlife.
According to an al Qaeda magazine published recently online, the late Adam Gadahn said, "My dear brothers: While no one can deny the considerable strength and prowess of the Islamic State group in military terms, at the same time, the crimes it has committed against Muslims cannot simply be overlooked or forgotten with time, because in Islam there is no statute of limitations. And if these wrongs are not brought to an end and rectified here in this world, then a severe punishment has been promised both for those who committed them as well as those who encouraged, condoned or justified them, even if from behind a computer or mobile phone thousands of miles away.
"Oppression of any kind is wrong, and [there] will be darkness for its perpetrator on the Day of Judgment. The Ummah’s [Muslim community’s] Jihad is not a video game; it is real life, with real consequences, in this world and the next," he continued.
The interview with Gadahn, in which he discusses his California childhood in an unorthodox home and his bizarre journey into al Qaeda, appears to have been conducted last fall. Most of the 80-plus page interview is dedicated to sharp criticism of ISIS.
Gadahn said, "Does anyone think [Osama bin Laden and other al Qaeda figures] were calling on them to bring the wrath of the entire world down on Iraq and Syria by attacking and displacing largely powerless and defenseless minorities and slaughtering their men and enslaving their women and children?... Of course not! Frankly, all of us used to be sympathetic to varying degrees towards the Islamic State of Iraq [ISIS] -- despite its mistakes –- when it was seen as a weak and oppressed force valiantly fighting brutal tyrannies. But now that it has become clear that it has – unfortunately – adopted some of the traits, methods and tactics of those same tyrannies, it no longer holds the same place in our hearts that it did once upon a time."
Gadahn's sympathetic words are out of place compared to other parts of the interview, where he celebrated the attacks on Canadian soldiers and the Canadian Parliament, and later described his jubilant reaction to the 9/11 attacks.
