Jane Marriott, director of the government’s joint international counter terrorism unit, told an inquest into the attack in June 2015 that left 38 dead, that it was common to consult local sources when collating travel advice, “which could include tour operators”.
The hearing at London’s Royal Courts of Justice was told that there had been eight terrorist attacks between August 2013 and November 2014 including an attack in Sousse in October 2013 that killed only the bomber.
