At least 15 Britons were killed in the Tunisian beach massacre,
it has been confirmed. Foreign Minister Tobias Ellwood said 15 British people were now
confirmed dead but the toll “may well rise” following the shootings, with
several more seriously injured.
He described Friday’s horrific events at a holiday resort near
Sousse as “the most significant terrorist attack on the British people” since
the London bombings on July 7, 2005. Tunisian student Seifeddine Rezgui opened fire on Western
tourists with a Kalashnikov at the popular resort.Speaking in the Foreign Office, Mr Ellwood said: “Sadly, I can confirm that at least 15 British nationals were killed in yesterday’s atrocity but I should stress that the number may well rise as several more have been seriously injured in this horrific attack.”
