BRITISH holidaymakers in #Tunisia have been advised by the UK government’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) to leave the country. It has advised against all but essential travel to Tunisia.
The FCO is working with tour operators to ensure British nationals are able to return to the UK.
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said: ‘Since the attack in #Sousse the intelligence and threat picture has developed considerably, leading us to the view that a further #terroristattack is highly likely.
‘The Tunisian investigation into those behind the Sousse attack and that on the Bardo Museum earlier this year is ongoing and the Tunisians have made clear they want to track down further individuals who they suspect may have links to this attack. While we are working with the Tunisian authorities to further strengthen those measures, we judge that more work is needed to effectively protect tourists from the terrorist threat.
‘If you are in Tunisia, you should contact your tour operator or airline who can help plan your return. Anyone travelling independently should look to return on commercial flights.’
