Sousse attacks

'Strong' evidence suggests the Bardo Museum attack in Tunisia's capital in March is linked to the beach shooting in the country's resort of Sousse in June, according to British police, the BBC reported on Wednesday.

"Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism officers say they are now connecting the two attacks based on evidence," the BBC revealed.

Serbia's Foreign Ministry has told Serbian tourists not to go on holiday in Tunisia, arguing that after the recent terror attack there, and the introduction of state of emergency on July 4, "the risk of new terrorist attacks" remains concerning.

Tunisia’s President Beji Caid Essebi declared a state of emergency in Tunisia, a week after the terrorist attack at a resort in Sousse that killed 39 foreign tourists – thirty from the UK. The state of emergency allows the government to have more flexibility and the army and police have more authority.

Tunisian authorities have arrested 12 people they suspect are linked to the Sousse beach hotel attack on foreign tourists, and are hunting for two men who trained in a Libyan jihadist camp with the Sousse attacker, an official said. 

Tunisia expects to lose at least $515 million this year, or about a quarter of its estimated annual tourism earnings, following the June 26 attack on a beach hotel that killed 39 people, mostly British holidaymakers. 

Tunisia said it would arm tourism police and deploy hundreds of reinforcements as authorities moved to boost security after a jihadist gunned down 38 people at a seaside resort in an attack claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

Hundreds of armed police patrolled the streets of Tunisia's beach resorts on June 28 and the government said it will deploy hundreds more inside hotels after the Islamist militant attack in Sousse that killed 39 foreigners, mostly Britons. 

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) on June 27 claimed responsibility for a massacre in a Tunisian seaside resort that killed nearly 40 people, most of them British tourists, in the worst attack in the country's recent history.
   

Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev and Foreign Minister Daniel Mitov condemned the three terrorist attacks, which took place in France, Tunisia and Kuwait on Friday.

The Bulgarian Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the three attacks, which threatened the values of peace, democracy and freedom and expressed solidarity with the peoples of the three countries.

At least 27 people, including foreign tourists, were killed when at least one gunman opened fire on a Tunisian beachside hotel in the popular resort of Sousse on June 26, an interior ministry spokesman said.
