The country’s Interior Minister, Najem Gharsalli, announced that the assault was launched by a cell of 23 militants believed to be a union of two extremist groups, Okbha Ibn Nafaa and al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb.
Around 80 percent of those suspected of involvement have been arrested and authorities are engaged in a huge operation to locate those still at large.
It has since been uncovered that the two killers shot dead at the scene received training at militant camps in Libya.
