A terrorism expert says that attacks on two Tunisian hotels this morning that left at least 28 dead and 36 wounded could have been an "attempt to destabilize the economy." Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchins, from the International Centre for the Study of Radicalization, told The Associated Press that similar attacks in Egypt and Kenya had damaged tourism.

German tour operators are already offering to cancel Tunisian vacations, and are organizing planes for tourists who want to end their travels early.
