Heads are rolling in Tunisia following the militant attack on the national museum. The country’s Prime Minister, Habib Essid, fired six police commanders, including the head of tourist security. Mofdi Mssedi, the spokesman for the premier’s office, said the six also included an intelligence brigade chief, the Tunis district police chief, the traffic police commander, a Bardo Museum security chief and a commander for the capital’s Sidi Bachir district.
“Prime Minister Habib Essid visited the Bardo Museum yesterday and took note of several security failures there,” Mssedi said.
Militant gunmen killed 20 foreign tourists on March 18 as they got off buses at the Bardo Museum, inside the parliament compound that is normally heavily guarded. Parliament was in session at the time.
