A British woman was killed in the terror attack in Tunis that left 23 people dead, it has emerged.
Sally Adey was on holiday with her husband, who is receiving support from the firm that runs the cruise ship the pair were sailing on.
Terrorist group Islamic State has released an online audio recording in which it claims responsibility for the killings.
A statement released by Tunisia's presidency said nine people suspected of links with the gunmen had been arrested. It said the nine included four people directly linked to the operation and five suspected of having ties to the cell.
Prime Minister David Cameron described the killings as an "appalling and brutal outrage".
Describing it as "the latest example of extremist terror", he said: "We have to fight it with everything we have, whether that is taking the poison out of young minds here in Britain, whether it's working with intelligence, policing and security services in other countries around the world or whether it's dealing decisively with those areas of the world from which these problems come."
Witnesses say the gunmen behind the attack opened fire on tourists arriving at the capital's Bardo Museum, renowned for its collection of Roman mosaics, before chasing them inside.
The two attackers were among the 23 people left dead.
The victims, who also included Japanese, Italians, Colombians, Spaniards, Australians, Poles and French, were passengers on two cruise liners which had recently arrived in Tunis.
Julia Holden, a partner at Shakespeares Solicitors in Birmingham and a close friend of the Adey family, issued a statement on the family's behalf.
She said: "Sally Adey was a much-loved daughter, wife and mother. The family are devastated by her loss.
