Tunisian tourist security commander dismissed after Tunis attack
Tunisia’s prime minister has dismissed six police commanders following last week’s museum shooting, including one in charge of tourist security.
The country’s Prime Minister Habib Essid reportedly made the decision after noticing ‘several security failures’ on a visit to the Bardo Museum in Tunis where 21 people, including 20 tourists, were killed.
In the worst attack in Tunisia for more than a decade, armed men opened fire on tourists including coaches bringing Costa and MSC cruise passengers to the museum on an excursion.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group has claimed responsibility for the attack, which has led to cruise lines pulling Tunisia ports from their itineraries.
The Bardo Museum is due to re-open this week and a concert and public rally are expected to be staged in an effort to show that the gunmen ‘haven’t achieved their goal’.
