This week terror again came to Tunisia. An attack on a bus carrying presidential guards in the capital Tunis took the lives of 12, with dozens others wounded.

In a statement posted on social media, ISIL claimed responsibility, saying a Tunisian militant named Abu Abdallah al-Tunisi had boarded the bus wearing an explosives belt as it picked up guards on their way to work on Tuesday.
