Authorities in the United Arab Emirate say they have serious security information that Tunisia woman would be used in terror attacks against them.

Faced with a furiousĀ  response from the North Africa country, the Gulf state admits it might involve fake identities and the scare is over.

Tunisia President Beji Caid Essebsi says the rights of women from his country cannot be violated, whatever the justification.

UAE presidential spokesman Said Garrach says they closed their border to Tunisian women having received information that Jihadis returning from Syria and Iraq were planning to use Tunisian women for jiahidi attacks in the Gulf state.

Tunisia stopped Emirate air flights between Tunis and the Gulf.

The UAE says the scare is over and asserts they have the highest regard for Tunisian women.
