		</div><p>A Tunisian naval guard shot and killed a colleague and two civilians on Tuesday near a synagogue on the island of Djerba during an annual Jewish pilgrimage, the Tunisian Interior Ministry said.</p>
<p>The attacker was killed by security guards seeking to prevent him from entering the temple, the ministry said in a statement.</p>
<p>Ten people were injured in the attack near the 2,500-year-old Ghriba synagogue.</p>
<p>The assailant, a guard affiliated with the National Guard naval centre in the town of Aghir on Djerba, first killed a colleague with his service weapon and then seized ammunition and sought to reach the Ghriba synagogue, the ministry said.</p>
<p>When he reached the area, he opened fire on security units stationed at the temple.</p>
<p>The synagogue was locked down and those inside were kept secure while authorities investigate the motives for the attack, the ministry said.</p>
<p>It occurred during an annual pilgrimage that attracts thousands of visitors from around the world to one of Africa’s oldest synagogues.</p>
<p>A truck bombing killed some 20 people in 2002 at the entrance to the temple during the annual Jewish pilgrimage on Djerba.</p>
<p>Responsibility for that attack was claimed by al Qaeda.</p>
<p>Djerba is home to Tunisia’s main Jewish community.</p>
