Children's folk group among Tunisia evacuees

The children's folk group (DFS) Klnka, from Bratislava, terminated their stay in Tunisia, with the Government sending an aircraft to pick up the children from the country shaken by a terrorist attack earlier this week. The transport has been arranged by the Interior Ministry in cooperation with the Foreign Affairs Ministry, said Interior Ministry spokesman Peter Lazarov. "At approximately 10.35 p.m., the 30-member children's group will be flown from the area targeted by the terrorist attack to [Bratislava's] M.R. Štefánik Airport," said Lazarov. On Wednesday (18 March), during an assault against the Bardu Museum in Tunisia militants shot dead 23 people, mostly foreign tourists. The attack occurred during the time when DFS members arrived to visit the Tunisian metropolis Tunis. According to Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman Peter Stano, all members of the group are unharmed. Slovak nationals are being advised by the European and Foreign Affairs Ministry not to travel to Tunis until further notice.
