People pray at the entrance gate of the Bardo Museum in Tunis, Tunisia, on Wednesday, March 18. Earlier in the day, at least 23 people were killed -- most of them tourists -- when gunmen opened fire in the museum. Michel Euler/AP

The museum is evacuated by authorities. There was a significant number of foreign tourists at the museum at the time of the attack -- something that's not surprising, given its prominence in Tunisia and the fact that at least two cruise ships were docked in Tunis. Hassene Dridi/AP
