Xinhua, April 3, 2015 Adjust font size:

Tunisian security forces arrested 21 individuals suspected of being involved in the deadly attack against the Bardo museum, the Tunisian Interior Ministry said on Thursday.

The ministry said in a statement that the 21 suspects belong to two terrorist cells and so far 46 suspects have been arrested.

"Members of these terrorist cells will be charged of being accomplice in the terrorist case through providing weapons and logistics," the statement said.

Two terrorists launched the attack on the Bardo museum on March 18, leaving 20 tourists and one police officer dead and 47 others wounded. The Islamic State group later claimed responsibility for the attack. Endit
