MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the ambassador, unemployment is another reason for the rise of extremism in the country, leading youths to join terrorist organizations.
"For the last few years…a lot of mosques that preach extremism in the country have flourished. This extremist preaching contributed to religious extremism among the youth," Gutali said.
About 40 people, including UK and German citizens, were shot in Sousse, Tunisia, on Friday. The Islamic State jihadist group, which is predominantly active in Iraq and Syria, claimed responsibility for the shooting.
Following the attack, Prime Minister Habib Essid said that the country would shut down as many as 80 mosques on suspicion of inciting violence.
