The interior ministry said the rampage was not linked to “terrorism”, but a defense ministry spokesman did not rule this out before an investigation reports on the incident. Defense ministry spokesman Belhassen Oueslati said the corporal, whose name was not given, “had family and psychological problems”. Because of this, he had been “forbidden from carrying arms” and given “non- sensitive duties”. “He attacked one man with a knife and took his gun before shooting at his comrades who were saluting the flag,” Oueslati said. The incident “caused the deaths of seven soldiers and also of the shooter. Ten sol- diers were wounded, and one is in a serious condition,” he added. Yesterday’s shooting was at the Bouchoucha barracks in Tunis, not far from parliament and the Bardo National Museum where jihadist gunmen killed 21 foreign tourists and a policeman in March. It triggered a security alert across the Bardo district, AFP correspondents reported. One heard two volleys of gunfire from inside the barracks at around 8:45 am (0745 GMT), before an ambulance emerged, its siren blaring.

AUSCHWITZ, 2nd of MAY 2019 Your All Holiness, Honorable Speaker of the Hellenic Parliament, Your Excellencies, Mr. Chairman of the City Council of Thessaloniki, Madame Deputy Mayor, Messrs. Representatives of Auschwitz State Museum, Mr. President of the Jewish Museum of Greece, Here, in the place of the absolute evil, my heart is clenching once more today. My thought is seeking the souls of my murdered brothers and counts their loss. In this very place Heintz Kounio, from Thessaloniki, had to pass seven times the "selection", as Nazis where calling the screening. Rafael Varsano, another hostage from Thessaloniki, as well, called that a "filtering" in order to mention the "selections" organized to evaluate and determine who is going to continue working in forced labor and who would go to the gas chambers. Berry Nahmia, from Kastoria, was also here, in this very place, precisely in Block 27. Bienvenida Mano was in Block 10 - in the medical section of Mengele - enduring gynecological experiments. In this place Duka Moissi, from Larissa, Naki Bega, from Trikala, Sandra Matsa, from Corfu and Jeannette Nahmia, from Ioannina, saw for the last time their beloved ones. It is here where 20 year old Shlomo Venezia, from Thessaloniki, was purveying the crematoriums with the corpses from the gas chambers, participating later, together with other Greek Jews, in the uprising. It is also here that Jacob Stroumsa played his violin, being the fiddler of Auschwitz's orchestra, while Salamo Arouch was participating in boxing fights to entertain the Nazis.
