British Prime Minister David Cameron said that Islamic extremists have declared war on Great Britain, announcing that a military plane will fly from Britain to Tunisia to evacuate those killed and wounded in the terrorist attack in Sousse.
"Today we will send one RAF (aircraft) C17 to help evacuate the wounded and dead," the British prime minister told BBC Radio.
According to him, it was an "absolutely terrifying attack that shocked the entire nation."
"We (the British) were targeted. They declared war on us whether we liked it or not," Cameron said, promising a full investigation into what happened in the Tunisian resort three days ago.
Cameron said Home Secretary Theresa May would travel to Tunisia along with Foreign Office official Tobias Ellwood to speak with Tunisian ministers and review the situation in the resort of Sousse.
So far, 16 British detectives have been sent to Tunisia to help with the investigation, while 400 police officers are interviewing British tourists who were in the area at the time of the attack.
In London's Downing Street today, flags are flying at half-mast as a sign of condolences to the families of the victims.
It was the worst British loss in a terrorist attack since 2005 when 52 people died in a suicide bombing on London's transport system.
