Tunisia attacks were planned in Libya: minister

A series of attacks in Tunisia claimed by ISIS that killed dozens of people including foreign tourists was planned in neighboring Libya, a top official said Friday.

The extremist group has said it was behind a suicide bombing in the center of Tunis on Tuesday in which 12 presidential guards died.

ISIS also claimed two attacks earlier this year at the National Bardo Museum in Tunis and on a hotel near the Mediterranean resort of Sousse that killed a total of 60 people, all but one of them foreign tourists.

"Everything is being planned in Libya," Tunisia's secretary of state for national security, Rafik Chelly, told private Mosaique FM radio.

"The commanders of Tunisian terrorist groups are in Libya," he added.
