Jihadists sentenced to life for deadly 2015 Tunisia attacks
TUNIS, Feb 9, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – A Tunisian court has sentenced seven
jihadists to life in prison over attacks at a museum and on a beach in 2015
that left dozens of tourists dead, prosecutors said Saturday.
Two separate trials were held over the closely linked attacks which
occurred just months apart in Tunis and Sousse.
The court also handed down jail terms of between six and 16 years to some
of the defendants, said prosecution spokeswoman Sofiene Sliti.
