TERROR IN TUNISIA
WOMAN'S OWN

Ten years on, the tragic beach attack remains one of the deadliest assaults on British tourists ever to occur

To any onlooker, Seifeddine Rezgui, then 23, was just a man with a parasol slung over his shoulder, walking along the beach in the holiday resort of Sousse, Tunisia, in June 2015. But dressed all in black in the 30C midday heat, Rezgui had a sinister and shocking plan.
