Tunisian authorities have arrested suspects believed to be involved in the beach attack that killed 39 people, the country's interior ministry said Monday.

According to Reuters, Interior Minister Najem Gharsalli didn't give further details but said officials are still verifying whether the shooter had been trained in a camp in neighboring Libya. 

Daesh (ISIS) claimed responsibility for the shooting in Tunisia's city of Sousse, a popular destination for tourists. The targeted attack killed mostly British nationals.
