June 26, 2015 holds historical value for the United States of America. On this day, the Supreme Court ruled gay marriage bans as unconstitutional. This inadvertently brought marriage equality to the United States and led to an immense amount of celebrations. Pride parades were more prideful, allies rejoiced, and social media outlets celebrated with filters for photos and hashtags.

Those in France, Tunisia, and Kuwait were not as lucky. At around the same time on June 26, three terrorist attacks occurred- one in each country.

One man was beheaded and two others injured in an explosion at a gas factory in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, located in eastern France. Francois Hollande, the French President, stated “the terrorist nature of this act is in no doubt.” The attacker, Yassin Sahli, was arrested at the scene. There is a possibility of a second attacker.

Sahli was monitored from 2006 to 2008 by security services, but otherwise had no previous criminal record. His wife, sister, and a separate acquaintance are all being questioned by police about the attack.

In Tunisia, 23-year-old Seifeddine Rezgui opened gunfire in a hotel and beach. He hid the gun and grenades behind an umbrella and targeted tourists. Hotel workers in the area attempted to attack Rezgui and many tried to protect themselves along with hotel patrons. Jess Shotton, who was on the beach with family, recounted her experience saying: “The staff were saying ‘run, run faster’ so they could close the gates behind us, and when we got into the hotel they told everyone to go to their rooms because that was the safest thing… and wait for further information.” Rezgui was shot and killed by officers later in the day, but not before killing at lead 39 people. Three of the victims represented three generations of the same British family.

There are tributes to the victims throughout the beach and surrounding hotels.

This same morning, 25 people were killed and 202 injured after a suicide bomber detonated his bomb in a Shiite mosque in Kuwait City during Friday prayers. This was the first terrorist attack in Kuwait in over 20 years. The mosque is one of the oldest in the Sunni Arab nation.

A tweet from the Najd Province, an affiliate with the Islamic State and whose name references the central region of Saudi Arabia, claims the suicide bomber as a member of their group. They also claimed two prior attacks in Saudi Arabia in May. The group refer to Shiite Muslims as “rejectionists” and targeted them specifically.

A witness of the bombing, Ahmed al-Shawaf, states the man interrupted prayer by yelling “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great!”) and about joining Muhammad for iftar, the dusk meal in which daytime fasting is broken during Ramadan. A member of the Kuwaiti parliament, Khalil al-Salih, was also present during the explosion. He stated: “It was obvious from the suicide bomber’s body that he was young. He walked into the prayer hall during sujood (kneeling in prayer). He looked in his twenties, I saw him with my own eyes.”
