Japan confirms deaths of 3 nationals in Tunisia attack
None
Three Japanese were killed, and three others injured, in the militant attack on tourists in Tunisia, the Japanese government said Thursday.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said an earlier report of five Japanese dead turned out to be wrong after officials checked names by talking to the families traveling together and visiting hospitals. The Tunisian prime minister had said that five Japanese were among the 19 victims. Suga refused to release the names of the Japanese victims, saying approval was needed first from their families. The three others are being treated at hospitals but their conditions were not immediately known, he said.
