Britons injured in Tunisia beach massacre are flown back home

Four Britons injured in the Tunisia beach massacre have landed back in the UK. An RAF plane flew into Birmingham Airport in the early hours carrying the four, who are still in need of treatment despite spending several days in hospital. The C17 plane had a “medevac” team experienced at bringing injured service personnel back from operations abroad.

We have started by arresting a first group, a significant number of people, from the network that was behind this terrorist criminal.

Two more wounded Britons are expected to arrive home in the next 24 hours. Sky sources say as many as 30 UK nationals were killed when Seifeddine Rezgui opened fire on tourists in the resort of Sousse. He had hidden his Kalashnikov in an umbrella. Some 17 victims from the UK and three from Ireland have been identified. Seven suspected associates of Rezgui have been arrested in at least three different cities. They are being questioned in the capital, Tunis.
