This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 12 July 2015.
Already scores of tourists have cut short their holidays and flown home following the latest travel advice from the Foreign Office in which fears of another terror attack was sad to be "highly likely".
Prime Minister Habib Essid feels it was a hasty decision and assured his government could have done something else that could have benefited both the sides. In his words - Tunisia needs to be supported. It needs to be helped against what the terrorists are doing.
Their objective is that people from abroad won’t feel safe in Tunisia and, we are playing into their hands by asking tourists to leave Tunisia.
Tunisia's interior ministry has revealed that five suspected extremists had been killed in clashes with counter-terrorism forces. It seems there was a gun battle after eight suspected extremists were tracked and chased to a mountain near the town of El Ktar in the Gafsa region.
Moreover, Tunisia has carried out 7,000 security operations after a terrorist attack on the Bardo museum in Tunis in March had left 22 people dead.
