Hollande expresses solidarity with Tunisia

The French President spoke with his Tunisian counterpart Beji Caid Essebsi following a terror attack in Tunis in which at least eight people were killed.
According to a source close to Hollande’s office, in the brief call with Essebsi, Hollande expressed “the solidarity of France with the Tunisian people in this very grave moment.”
Meanwhile, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said on Wednesday that hostages had been taken in a terrorist attack on a museum in the Tunisian capital in which at least seven foreigners were killed.
“I condemn this terrorist attack in the strongest terms. There has been a hostage-taking, without doubt tourists have been affected, killed,” Valls said in Brussels after talks with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.
“This attack cruelly illustrates the threat that we are all confronted with in Europe, in the Mediterranean, around the world. France, Tunisia and Europe will act together to fight terrorism,” Valls added.
