including 15 Britons just 48 hours earlier.

Hundreds have now taken to Twitter to condemn the
'disgusting' picture taken at Marhaba beach in Sousse where helpless tourists
were k!lled on sun loungers, saying it sums up the 'selfie or selfish
generation'.
Jerome Taylor tweeted: 'This sums up the selfie generation.

Davide Manfrin said: 'Selfie of the massacre on the beach in
Tunisia. Idiots, don't they understand our fate is hanging by a thread.'
Rabeb Othmani tweeted: 'There is a fine line between freedom
of expression & hurting others feelings: Stop posting the beach selfies
#Tunisia'
Mark Olrog said: 'A bad 21st century trait. People turning
up and taking selfies of #Tunisia terror beach, apparently
Dozens of people gathered at the beach 48 hours after ISIS
militant Seifeddine Rezgui opened fire on helpless tourists.
Defiant, the group carried flags across the sand that was
splattered with blood on Friday before placing flowers and tribute letters near
the sunbeds where the attack happened.
Others bowed their heads in silence as they placed books and
signs at the scene, including a poignant one that simply read: 'Why they die?
The memorial came after thousands of Tunisians gathered in
the streets of Sousse last night to hold a candlelit protest against the
barbaric bloodbath.
Waving banners reading 'no to terrorism' and unfurling
British and Tunisian flags in a show of unity, they came together close to
where murderer Seifeddine Rezgui launched his k!lling spree.
Most of the protesters were outside the Imperial Marhaba
hotel, one of the resorts targeted by the 23-year-old assassin.
The citizens of Sousse chanted and lit candles as a tribute
to the de'ad, which include at least 15 Britons.
One said: 'What happened (on Friday) does not represent
Tunisia. We are sorry for the families, the victims, they are our guests
Demonstrators also congregated in the Tunisian capital of
Tunis to show their support for the tourist sunseekers who were gunned down.
The beach bloodbath on Friday, timed to coincide with the
Muslim festival of Ramadan and co-ordinated by Islamic State, left at least 38
people de'ad
Witness accounts say Rezgui was seen laughing and joking
among the midday bathers, looking like any other tourist. But he was actually
carefully picking out the victims he would murder with a Kalashnikov hidden in
his parasol.
After he opened fire, he rampaged up the beach, past the
pool and into the Imperial Marhaba Hotel. He then emerged onto the streets of
Sousse where rooftop snipers lay in wait.
He slipped into a side street to avoid the bullets raining
down on him and stopped outside a housing development belonging to Mayel
Moncef, 56.
As he avoided a hail of bullets, he dropped to his knees in
prayer, allowing a grenade to roll from his hand and into the gutter.
Mr Moncef then picked up a stack of terracotta roof tiles
and threw it on the head of the gunman, causing him to stumble. He walked a few
yards before a local policeman shot him dea'd.
'I put two bullets in him. I haven't slept since', he said.
His murderous rampage on the crowded Tunisian beachfront at
El Kantaoui near Sousse, k!lled 38 - with 36 seriously wounded.
The British were his prime targets and at least 15 have been
confirmed dea'd.
The worst terror attack in Tunisia's history came on the
same day a man was found decapitated after an attack by suspected Islamic
extremists on a French factory, and a Shia mosque in Kuwait was bombed, k!lling
at least 25 people.
Although the atrocities do not appear to be directly linked,
they came after ISIS called of their followers to 'make Ramadan a month of
calamities for the non-believers'.
Tension has been high in Tunisia since an attack on the
National Bardo Museum in March which k!lled 22 people, mostly foreign tourists,
including one Briton.
Previously, a suicide bomber blew himself up in a failed
attack on the beach in Sousse in October 2013.
Tunisian president Beji Caid Essebsi said yesterday: 'Once
again, cowardly and traitorous hands have struck Tunisia, targeting its
security and that of its children and visitors.'
