More Update On Tunisia Massacre

Tourists fled a Tunisian seaside resort on Saturday, a day after an attack killed at least 38 people and wounded at least 36 others.A stream of buses quietly ferried out thousands of guests who abruptly ended their beach holidays in the coastal city of Sousse.


ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack that started on the beach outside the Hotel Riu Imperial Marhaba, but it wasn't clear if the Islamist group had any direct role in it.ISIS posted a photo of the alleged attacker, Abu Yahya al-Qirawani, but people who were at the scene of the shooting told CNN they could not definitively say whether the gunman they saw is the same man featured in the ISIS photo.That gunman has now been identified by Tunisian authorities as Saif Al-Deen Al Rezgui, age 24.The uncle of Al Rezgui told CNN his nephew had visited his hometown and parent's home in Gaafour, Tunisia, on Thursday, the day before the attack.On Friday evening the mother and father of Al Rezgui were taken from their home to Tunis for investigation purposes, according to the uncle.
Al Rezgui lived in Gaafour until 2011 and later moved to the nearby region of Kairouan to go to college. Police officials described him as a normal young man who participated in a music group while he lived in Gaafour.Police said that while Al Rezgui was in Gaafour, he was not known to have problems and wasseen as an introvert who came from a poor family. Police added that his younger brother died in 2010 when he was struck by lightning, a death they believe this may have affected Al Rezgui.Initial reports Friday about the attack suggested there had been three gunmen, but a Tunisian Interior Ministry spokesman later said they were aware of only one and that he had been killed.

The spokesman, Mohammed Ali Aroui, told CNN on Saturday that the gunman specialized in electronics in pursuing his masters degree and didn't have any known relationship with a terror group
He worked in the past for an entertainment organization involved in tourism, and this is thought to be how he knew about the hotel layout, Aroui said. It is not yet clear what his current job was, if he had one, the spokesman added.His first passport was issued in 2013 but there was no sign of foreign travel on it, he said.Two U.S. officials said they believe the attack may have been inspired by ISIS, though not directed by the terrorist group.
