At least seven foreign tourists and a Tunisian have been killed after gunmen targeted a museum in the the Tunisian capital, officials say.
Tourists from several European countries were taken hostage, a local radio station reported.
The shooting happened at the Bardo Museum, which is next to the parliament building in central Tunis.
At the time of the attack deputies were discussing anti-terrorism legislation. Parliament has now been evacuated.
An interior ministry spokesman told Reuters that two militants were holed up inside the museum, surrounded by security forces.
Some hostages had been freed but others were still being held, radio station Mosaique FM reported, citing an interior ministry spokesman.
The museum, renowned for its collection of antiquities, is a major tourist attraction in Tunis.
Concerns about security in Tunisia have increased as neighbouring Libya has become increasingly unstable.

Apparently now over, with the death toll at 19 + 22 injured, 2 terrorists dead, others possibly not accounted for.
No doubt these figures will get even worse
 
Not good ... I wonder if this will signal another tourist destination going belly-up :(
 
Ah...no Brits involved?
Not sexy enough or close enough on budget day.

Ask most folk in the pub tonight and they won't have a clue what you're talking about.
