A Moroccan man has been arrested in Italy over
the Tunisia museum massacre that left 21 tourists dead after fleeing across the
Mediterranean on a migrant boat.
The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the
March attack on the Bardo Museum in the capital Tunis which also killed British
mother Sally Adey.
Abdel Majid Touil, 22, was arrested at the house
where he lives with his mother and brothers in Gaggiano, near Milan last night.
The accusations listed in the Tunisian arrest
warrant include premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit attacks against the
internal security of the state, belonging to a terrorist group and recruiting
and training others to commit terrorist attacks, police said.
He arrived in Porto Empedocle in Sicily on a
migrant boat on February 17 using the alias Abdullah, but
received an expulsion order demanding he leave Italy within 15 days
