Foreigners Flee Tunisia After Terror Attack

Several foreign tourists were seen leaving Tunisia on Saturday following a deadly attack on a beach resort in the coastal town of Sousse.

The terror attack on Friday afternoon left no fewer than 38 persons dead.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, ISIL, claimed responsibility for the incident, but the Tunisian government has rejected this claim.

However, the tourists are not taking any chances of staying one more day in the North African country, despite the government announcing a crackdown on what it calls extremism.

It would be recalled that an armed man disguised as a tourist opened fire on a beach outside two hotels with a weapon he had hidden in an umbrella on Friday.

He was later shot dead by police.
