TUNIS, Tunisia, May 25 (UPI) -- A Tunisian army soldier killed three fellow troops at a Tunis barracks before he was shot to death Monday, the Tunisian defense ministry said.
The unidentified soldier was not allowed to carry a weapon, but seized one from a colleague and opened fire in the Bouchoucha barracks in Tunisia's capital, less than a mile from the National Bardo Museum, where 22 people were killed in a terrorist attack on Mar. 18. The incident in the barracks is not viewed as a terrorist attack, Interior Ministry spokesman Mohamed Ali Aroui said.
