And an attack in Kuwait now.

My other half was there only last year with her mother. Worrying

Terrible.

My mum and stepdad are in the hotel. Currently hiding away trying to survive

I suspect that will be the death knell for Tunisian tourism.

I reckon so

Madness. 27 dead according to the BBC

Nail in the coffin for Tunisia's tourism industry, sad.

Sister has, just called me at work. Currently in hiding, many dead around them but they're unhurt and hoping to get out.

Holiday with Mrs and kids. The hotels are about 20 minutes from mine.

Stay safe.

Happy to hear that.

So is this 3 attacks in a day? Can we expect anymore before it ends?

I doubt the attacks are coordinated to be honest. Just coincidence.

And great to hear el_dazza's family is okay!

Ok for now, not counting our chickens yet. The worry will only end when they are home. It's their anniversary today too.

What's the third? I've only seen this and the France one.

I was there about fifteen years ago. People were fantastic. Definitely not deserving of these attacks they've had to bare.

Army will probably be there by now. The shooters will concentrate on them hopefully. I'll have my fingers crossed for them!

Well that's good news at least.

"Local radio has said those killed were mostly German and British, the AP news agency reports"
