		</div><p>Eight people are in custody on suspicion of direct links to a deadly attack on a Tunisian beach resort, while police have released four others detained earlier in the investigation.</p>
<p>The so-called Islamic State group claimed responsibility for Friday&#8217;s attack, in which Tunisian student Seifeddine Rezgui opened fire on a beach in the resort of Sousse, killing 38 people including 30 British and three Irish tourists.</p>
<p>Government minister Kamel Jendoubi told reporters in Tunis that 12 people in total were detained since the attack, but four have been released.</p>
<p>The other eight &#8211; seven men and one woman &#8211; remain in custody and are suspected of direct links to the attack, he said.</p>
<p>He did not elaborate on the identities of the suspects or their roles, saying only that the investigation &#8220;has allowed us to discover the network behind the operation in Sousse&#8221;.</p>
<p>He also urged greater international terrorism cooperation in a &#8220;war &#8230; between democratic Tunisia and an international jihadi movement&#8221;.</p>
<p>More Tunisians &#8211; about 3,000 &#8211; are believed to have gone to Syria and Iraq to join radical jihadis including the so-called Islamic State group than fighters from any other country.</p>
<p>A top security official said that the student had trained in a jihadi camp in Libya at the same time as the two men who attacked a leading Tunisian museum in March.</p>
<p>That enforced the notion of a link between the two assaults and raised fears of more attacks on this North African nation&#8217;s budding democracy.</p>
<p>The attack was Tunisia&#8217;s deadliest ever, and threatened to be a devastating blow to the country&#8217;s tourism sector.</p>
