WASHINGTON
Obama administration signaled
on Wednesday it could take a
tougher stance toward Benja-
min Netanyahu following his
decisive Israeli election victory
and campaign tack to the right,
saying there will be consequenc-
es for his sudden reversal on the
idea of an independent Palestin-
ian state.
While senior American offi-
cials said that the administra-
tion was still evaluating options,
they suggested the U.S. could
ease its staunch opposition to
Palestinians turning to the UN
Security Council to create a
state.
complices in the attack. Prime
Minister Habib Essid said the
two Tunisian gunmen killed 17
tourists — five from Japan,
four from Italy, two from Co-
lombia, two from Spain, and
one each from Australia, Po-
land and France. The nation-
ality of one dead foreigner was
not released. Essid said two
Tunisian nationals also were
killed by the militants.
At least 44 people were
wounded, including tourists
from Italy, France, Japan,
South Africa, Poland, Belgium
and Russia, according to Essid
and doctors from Tunis’
Charles Nicolle.
“I want the people of Tuni-
sia to understand firstly and
lastly that we are in a war with
terror, and these savage mi-
nority groups will not frighten
us,” said newly elected Presi-
dent Beji Caid Essebsi in an
evening address to the nation.
“The fight against them will
continue until they are exter-
minated.”
Tunisians overthrew their
dictator in 2011 and kicked off
the Arab Spring that spread
across the region. While the
uprising built a new democra-
cy, the country has also strug-
gled with economic problems
and attacks by extremists.
Essid identified the slain
gunmen as Yassine Laabidi
and Hatem Khachnaoui.
Twitter accounts associated
with the extremist Islamic
State group based in Syria and
Iraq were described as over-
joyed at the attack, urging Tu-
nisians to “follow their broth-
ers,” according to Rita Katz of
SITE, a U.S.-based organiza-
tion that monitors militant
groups.
The assault at the Bardo,
Tunisia’s largest museum that
is housed in a 15th century pal-
ace, began sometime after
noon local time as scores of

TUNIS, Tunisia — Foreign
tourists scrambled in panic
Wednesday after militants
stormed a museum in Tuni-
sia’s capital and killed 19 peo-
ple, “shooting at anything that
moved,” a witness said.
Two gunmen were slain by
security forces following the
deadliest attack on civilians in
the North African country in
13 years, and the president said
the young democracy was em-
broiled in a war with terror.
The militants, who wore
military-style uniforms and
wielded assault rifles, burst
from a vehicle and began gun-
ning down tourists climbing
out of buses at the National
Bardo Museum. The attackers
then charged inside to take
hostages before being killed in
a firelight with security forces.

manhunt for two or three ac-

Neither mall is bringing in
enough revenue to service

redevelop the 1980s malls. Col-
lin Creek was built in 1981 and
is anchored by J.C. Penney, Ma-
cy’s and Sears.
Older malls across the U.S.
are often competing with new-
er outdoor shopping centers
nearby that siphon tenants and
shoppers. The national depart-
ment stores — Sears, J.C. Pen-
ney and Macy’s — have been
closing stores. Dillard’s closed
its Collin Creek store in 2013.
Like Collin Creek Mall, Vis-
ta Ridge had been owned by
General Growth Properties,
Creek’s revenue would pay
about 70 cents on the dollar.”
In the meantime, the malls
operate without interruption
and shoppers aren’t likely to
notice changes.
