Sally Adey: Tunisia museum terror trial adjourned
The trial over the 2015 attack at the Bardo museum in Tunisia’s capital that killed 21 tourists including Shropshire woman Sally Adey has been adjourned.
Two gunmen opened fire at the National Bardo Museum in an attack claimed by Isis.
Some 22 detained suspects were in a Tunis court for Tuesday morning’s first hearing, which a source close to the case said was a procedural session.
The suspects are being tried for “terrorist crimes”, according to the French Association for Victims of Terrorism and Imed Belkhamsa, a lawyer for victims of the attacks.
Mrs Adey, 57, of Caynton, near Shifnal, was killed by terrorists when they stormed the museum in Tunis.
The two museum attackers, who authorities said trained in a camp in neighbouring Libya, were killed by security forces, but a lengthy investigation uncovered a network of helpers who allegedly provided direct or indirect support for the operation.
