[h=1]Tunisia beach attack by ISIS: Sousse protesters denounce terror[/h] June 27, 2015


People in the Tunisian resort town of Sousse have held a march to denounce the attack in which at least 38 people - mostly tourists - were killed by a gunman on a nearby beach on Friday.


The crowds gathered late on Saturday at a hotel also targeted by the attacker.


They marched through the town expressing sympathy with relatives of the victims, 15 of whom were British.


Tunisia's PM Habib Essid announced a security clampdown after the attack claimed by Islamic State (IS).


He said army reservists would be deployed to tourist sites. About 80 mosques accused of inciting violence would be closed within a week.
Friday's attack was the deadliest in Tunisia's recent history.


In march, militants killed 22 people, mainly foreigners, at Bardo museum in the capital Tunis.

"Sousse will never die!" the crowds chanted.


A separate rally was held in Tunis. "The victims are my brothers and sisters in humanity," protester Karima Benhajj told AFP news agency.


One Belgian and one German have so far been identified among the dead, the Tunisian health ministry said. One citizen of the Irish Republic is also confirmed dead. There were also thought to be Tunisians and French killed in the attack.


At least 36 people were injured, some seriously.
