The Islamic State (IS) group on Thursday claimed responsibility for the twin suicide bombings that killed one police officer and wounded eight in Tunisia’s capital on Thursday, France24 reports.
The militant group claimed responsibility via its propaganda outlet, Amaq, on Thursday evening.
Tunisia’s capital Tunis was hit by two separate, but seemingly coordinated, attacks targeting the country’s security forces shortly before 11am on Thursday.
Thursday's bombings took place months before an election and at the peak of Tunisia’s tourist season.
