Hmmm....A Tunisian
police officer has revealed how he put 'two bullets' in the ISIS
assassin to end his slaughter of holidaymakers lounging on a tourist
beach.
The
policeman, who wished to keep his identity secret, said he shot the
murderer Seifeddine Rezgui following his 25-minute rampage. He
spotted the gunman while he was praying in a side street and shot the
23-year-old aviation student, who was armed with an assault rifle and
grenades.
Following his killing spree, Rezgui stopped outside a housing development belonging to Mayel Moncef, 56.
As
bullets rained down on the gunman from rooftop snipers, he dropped to
his knees in prayer, allowing a grenade to roll from his hand and into
the gutter.
Mr Moncef
then picked up a stack of terracotta roof tiles and threw it on the head
of the gunman, causing him to stumble. He walked a few yards before the
policeman shot him dead.
'I put two bullets in him. I haven't slept since', he told the Sunday People.
Witness accounts say Rezgui was seen laughing and joking among the midday bathers, looking like any other tourist.
But he was actually carefully picking out the victims he would murder with a Kalashnikov hidden in his parasol.
In
the murderous rampage on the crowded Tunisian beachfront at El Kantaoui
near Sousse, he killed 38 - with 36 seriously wounded.
The British were his prime targets and at least 15 have been confirmed dead.
'One minute you're on a sun lounger then the next there are bullets whizzing past your head', one witness said.
Last night, a
Tunisian Interior Ministry source said that while Rezgui did not have a
criminal record, he was known to authorities for 'low level radicalism'
and was once stopped by police for smoking cannabis.
The
source confirmed Rezgui was an active member of a radical group called
Islamic Youth and would go to mosques controlled by radical preachers.
By
the time he launched his killing spree in Sousse, Rezgui was said to be
working with ISIS, which yesterday posted a picture of him with two
assault rifles either side of him, on its website.
Using Rezgui's jihadi name, Abu Yahya al-Qayrawani, it described him as 'Our brother, the soldier of the Caliphate'.
Speaking
from the family home in Gaafour, a poor area of Tunisia's Saliana
province, his uncle Ali Bin Muhammad Rezgui said: 'He was a sweet boy
when he was younger. He was a breakdancer and loved football. He should
have had a long, happy life.'
