Shropshire couple forced to return early from Tunisia holiday
A Shropshire couple were among thousands of British holidaymakers flown home from Tunisia at the weekend.
Tunisia's prime minister has spoken of his "regrets" at the UK Government's decision, which comes in the wake of the beach terror attack that left 30 tourists dead.
Prime Minister Habib Essid said: "Tunisia needs to be supported. It needs to be helped against what the terrorists are doing.
"The objective of the terrorist is that people from abroad won't feel safe in Tunisia."
His views were supported by Les Aston, 61, from Shrewsbury, who told of his disappointment to be home.
He said: "They let us go out there and now we've been brought back home. It makes no sense. The staff were in tears when we left the hotel. Tourism in Tunisia will be ruined."
Tunisia's interior ministry said counter-terrorism forces had killed five suspected extremists in a mountain gunfight at the weekend.
The country has carried out 7,000 security operations since a terrorist attack in Tunis in March.
