"Attack in Tunisia is appalling & condemnable. We stand firmly with the people of Tunisia in this hour of grief & pray normalcy returns soon," Modi tweeted.
Seven foreigners and a Tunisian were killed today in an attack by two men armed with assault rifles on the Tunisian capital's famed Bardo Museum.
"A terrorist attack (targeted) the Bardo Museum," Tunisia's Interior Ministry spokesman Mohamed Ali Aroui told reporters, adding that the assault was carried out by "two or more terrorists armed with Kalashnikovs".
"The majority of tourists were evacuated," he said.
