The early hours of March 18 started-off bloody for the North African Bardo Museum in Tunisia’s capital. The museum was attacked by what seems to be armed Islamic extremists.
Three gunmen rampaged through the museum known for its Roman mosaics armed with AKK-47s. 8 people have been reported dead.
The museum happens to be connected to the nation’s parliament by a large outdoor courtyard, prompting an evacuation of the government building.
The Ministry of the Interior of the Muslim nation stated on national radio that there is still an active, ongoing hostage situation in progress.
