Radical Islamic Twitter accounts, mainly associated with the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL), cheered the slaughter of twenty-two innocent civilians at a museum in Tunisia. Two gunmen in military uniforms stormed into the museum and took hostages. Tunisian authorities broke through two hours later, killed the gunmen, and ended the siege.
