Three dead, 10 hurt in attack near Djerba synagogue

A Tunisian naval guard shot and killed a colleague and two civilians as he tried to enter a synagogue on the island of Djerba during an annual Jewish pilgrimage. Tunisia's Interior Ministry said the attacker was slain by security guards, and 10 people were injured. The civilians killed were French and Tunisian.

It was not immediately clear if they were pilgrims attending ceremonies near the 2,500-year-old Ghriba synagogue. The injured include six security agents and four civilians. The assailant first killed a colleague with his service weapon and then seized ammunition and headed toward the Ghriba synagogue.
