[00:00.00]Tunisia has detained 12 people in connection with an attack last week 
[00:07.80]that killed 38 people, an official said Thursday.
[00:11.97]Security forces killed the gunman following the mass shooting Friday 
[00:18.42]in the city of Sousse. 
[00:20.41]Officials said he was the only shooter. 
[00:24.34]But they have been searching for people 
[00:27.70]who may have given him help before the attack.
[00:31.21]The Islamic State group claimed responsibility, 
[00:36.16]just as it did when two gunmen killed 21 people at the Bardo museum in Tunis in March.

[01:04.07]that three of the men were re-sentenced to 20-year terms. 
[01:09.65]The fourth convict was sentenced to 10 years 
[01:14.70]because he was 17 when the crime took place.
[01:18.54]Farkhunda Malikzada was 27 years old 
[01:24.32]when a mob attacked and killed her last March in Kabul. 
[01:28.49]A mullah had accused her of burning the Koran just before the attack. 
[01:34.98]An investigation showed no evidence of that accusation.
[01:40.22]Philippine officials said at least 36 people are dead 
[01:45.87]and more are missing 
[01:48.27]after a passenger boat capsized in the central part of the country.
[01:53.52]The Kim Nirvana was carrying 189 people Thursday 
[01:59.32]when officials said it went down only a kilometer from Ormoc City on the island of Leyte.
[02:07.07]The coast guard said at least 127 people have been rescued. 
[02:12.93]Divers are searching for at least 26 other people.

[02:29.35]The two will play Sunday in Vancouver, Canada.
[02:33.42]Japan moved forward in competition Wednesday after defeating England in play in Alberta, Canada. 
[02:43.22]The score was 2-1. England player Laura Bassett made the winning goal for Japan 
[02:51.04]when she accidentally sent the ball into her team's net.
