This is the ISIS madman casually strolling along a Tunisian beach, his AK-47 dangling from his right arm — just after opening fire and slaughtering 38 tourists.
The grinning Islamic terrorist had concealed his assault rifle in a sun umbrella and mingled with vacationers before his rampage turned the beach, pool and halls of the Imperial Marhaba hotel in Sousse into killing field.
Seifeddine Yacoubi also wounded 39 others and authorities warned the death toll could rise.
“Bloody Friday’’ also saw terror attacks in Kuwait and France.
Blood-soaked beach-bag items — a pair of sandals, a book of Sudoku puzzles — were abandoned on the sand by a placid blue sea. Pools of gore remained on the lobby floor and the pool deck after the attack.
The killer, casually dressed in shorts and apparently barefoot, blended in with beachgoers at first. Officials said the 23-year-old student was not on any terror watch list and had never traveled outside his native Tunisia.
ISIS took responsibility for the carnage, using the pseudonym Abu Yahya al-Qayrawani to name the murderer. The avid soccer and rap fan had espoused radical views online in support of Islamic State.
“The shooter had his weapon concealed inside a sun umbrella – he basically came here, went into the water and washed,” Sky News correspondent Stuart Ramsay said. “Then he came out, he got his gun out. He was very, very calm – he attacked one woman shooting her dead immediately.’’
He then started spraying bullets before going inside the hotel. “Some said they heard explosions, some say he was throwing grenades and more people who were caught at that gate were killed, Ramsay said.
“When he came out, he walked past a number of Tunisians who said to him ‘why are you killing these people, why are you killing these people?’
“He basically sneered at them and said ‘Well I’m not killing you’ and walked on.’”
By Saturday afternoon, officials confirmed that 15 British nationals, as well as vacationers from Ireland, Belgium, Portugal and Germany, were among the dead. Among the injured were 25 Britons, seven Tunisians and three Belgians.
He calmly reloaded his weapon at least twice, witnesses said.
“I saw mayhem,” Dave Beardsmore told the Sunday Times of London. “We ran for our lives. I heard bullets going over the top of my head.”
Police fatally shot Rezgui in the street outside the terrorized hotel some 30 minutes after the gunfire began.
