A tweet sent from pro-ISIS Twitter accounts accurately predicted the Tunisia terror attack, raising the possibility the terror group were behind the atrocity.

Sent just hours before the gunmen opened fire on the popular museum tone tweet read: 'Coming good news to Tunisia's Muslims, and a shock to the disbelievers and the hypocrites, especially those who claim to be cultured.'

Islam and its followers again

Sad that Tunisia is at risk of being engulfed in the extremism that surrounds them, they are really the only semi-stable country to have emerged out of that glorious 'Arab Spring'

[Livia]

Sad to hear this, I've had some great times in Tunisia and I bet it'll stop a lot of people going.

[Ninastar]

Horrific. RIP to all those killed. Sadly I think the worst is still yet to come. And it will be a lot closer to home.

Someone I know flew out to Tunisia today

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advise against all travel to certain parts of Tunisia... https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/tunisia

More reason to holiday in the UK

The gunmen carried out this action apparently because of Tunisia's reliance on tourism. Seems to me that for people to now stop going is playing into the hands of the terrorists. It wouldn't stop me going, it's probably safer now than it was a couple of days ago.

That is fine, but for families its is a big decision to risk the lives of children for a week round the pool, my friend was due to go with her family for a second time in August I doubt she will go now, not with teenagers and an 8 year old, I know I wouldn't and I would normally say it could happen anywhere, but in this instance no.

People still visit Egypt and they've had their fair share of violence. You can stay at home and get blown up on the Tube, as we know. Of course it's everyone's individual choice.

If the government are advising you don't then you'd be silly to ignore that imo.

Yeah I know all that my point is when you have children you have responsibilities and taking them on holiday to a country where there is unrest especially an Islamic one, and it is surrounded by other countries where there is unrest is unwise imo.

[Livia]

It only happened yesterday, of course the government is being cautious. If people chose to go, I personally wouldn't call them "silly".

Tunisia has always been surrounded by Algeria and Libya and people have taken their kids there because it's cheap even though Arab Spring started in Tunisia. If they don't want to now, that's their choice. I'm not insisting they go.

It is silly, if there is a governmental warning in place then the threat level has been lifted significantly in that specific area. If the threat was as immediate and severe in the tourist destinations of Egypt I'm sure the advise would be the same.

No you are not insisting they go, you are saying it is playing into the terrorists hands not to go as the terrorist intention is to sink the Tunisian economy which relies heavily on tourism, and whilst that is all well and good some people have other factors to take into consideration, personally I would go, but I wouldn't take my kids, I have never taken them to Egypt either for similar reasons.

Of course there's a government warning it only happened yesterday. I am fully aware of the dangers of hostile environments, spending a significant amount of my working time in Israel, so a couple of random gunmen in Tunisia will not stop me going there. But thanks for stating the obvious in case there are any idiots reading this.
