Tunisia unhappy with Britain for calling back its tourists because of Sousse terror attack

Tunisian Prime Minister Habib Essid is unhappy with the decision of Britain to call back its people who were holidaying in Tunisia. He has regretted Britain telling its citizens to leave Tunisia after the Sousse terror attack in which the 23-year-old terrorist had gunned down 38 people. 30 of them were British nationals.
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.

At least 30 Britons were killed in the Tunisia attack

As more information becomes available, it is believed that the number of British people killed in the Tunisia terror attack could double and go up to at least 30. There were 38 victims and the Government had already confirmed 15 of them to be from UK. Three of the dead are Irish.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 29 June 2015.

The killer 24-year-old Seifeddine Rezgui had begun his deadly rampage from inside the hotel grounds and Britons have paid the heaviest price in the atrocity at the beach resort in Sousse but, it cannot be said that the targets were only the Britons. Incidentally, the hotel was one that was housing a majority of British tourists.
The killer was later shot down by the police – he had a bomb on his body.
The hotel director has revealed that there were three gunmen involved in the attack and Scotland Yard has indicated that 16 detectives and forensic experts have been sent to Tunisia to help local officers.
Rime Minister David Cameron has said that Britain will not submit to terror threats and would defeat what he branded as a "poisonous ideology".
