TUNIS - Seven jihadists have been sentenced to life in prison in Tunisia over gun and grenade attacks at a museum and a beach resort in 2015.
Sixty people, mostly tourists, died in the attacks and many were wounded.
Other defendants received lesser prison terms, but 27 were acquitted.
The first attack on the Bardo Museum in Tunis in March 2015 killed 22 people. Three months later, 38 tourists, most of them British, were shot dead at Port El Kantaoui near Sousse.
Among the dead in the beach attack were a 24-year-old beauty blogger; a 49-year-old man, his father and his nephew; and several couples on holiday together.
The man believed to have masterminded both attacks, Chamseddine al-Sandi, remains on the run, but there are reports that he was killed in a US air strike in Libya.
Two separate trials were held over the attacks, which Islamic State militants said they had carried out.(FA)
