British family of 12 ‘successfully joins’ ISIS caliphate in Syria

The Tunisian government has declared a state of emergency following last week’s Sousse hotel attack, the president’s office reports, according to state media. President Beji Caid Essebsi has elevated the status on Saturday morning, after last week saw 38 foreign tourists die, the TAP news agency says. The state of emergency will afford the security service more authority and will limit the right to public assembly. It will be imposed for at least 30 days. The last such case was in 2011, during protests against the government of Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali.
