Pieces of news keep arriving from Tunis, where Bardo museum was targeted in a terrorist attack. Questions rise regarding Tunisian forces blitz to set the hostages free as it seems it was inadequate and non-perfectly conducted.

According to Prof. Sergio Giangregorio, Triage’s Scientific Director, “Tunisian authority shouldn’t have carried out a blitz without negotiating with terrorists first and without informing foreign authority regarding potential risk that foreign citizens could   have faced”. Therefore “the blitz was a failure and Tunisian Special Forces did not rise to the occasion and they showed a lack of basic training”.

Moreover, “cruise lines involved should have been involved by local authority in preventively providing all security measures to their tourists, something that is standard procedure in Egypt”.
