At least 27 people, including foreigners, were killed in a mass shooting at a Tunisian beach resort packed with holidaymakers, in the North African country's worst attack in recent history.

Investigations into the deadly attacks are still ongoing. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the bomb attack at a Shiite mosque in Kuwait, renewing concerns that the extremists are inspiring sympathizers in countries beyond Iraq and Syria. And the Al-Qaeda linked Al-Shabab group claimed responsibility for the attack in Somalia.
