Tunis - Tunisia has arrested nine suspects after an attack on tourists at the national museum that killed at least 21 people and prompted appeals for a united front against extremism.
"The security forces were able to arrest four people directly linked to the (terrorist) operation and five suspected of having ties to the cell," the president's office said in a statement.
Civil society groups on Thursday announced plans for a silent demonstration outside the Tunis museum where 20 foreigners, including a Sydney man, and at least one Tunisian died in the previous day's assault.
The authorities said the two dead gunmen had been identified and other suspects had been rounded up.
