so the foreign and commonwealth office essentially missed a trick and you save perhaps understandablye did. did the tunisians also miss a trick, should they have been better prepared? probably and their own counter terrorism system was pretty grim at the time. but tunisia had been through incredible changes just four years previously. the regime had fallen in early 2011 and sousse was about four years later. the tunisian themselves during this difficult transition to greater democracy were in a state of disarray and that includes their counterterrorism centres. what added to this was that the actions in libya just across the border, the destroyer of the gaddafi regime againfour destroyer of the gaddafi regime again four years previously, had left the country in chaos. and islamic state took root there, there is evidence on the part of the museum attack that the people involved in that, three of them, they trained at least partly in libya. so the consequences of what happened in libya, though welcomed at the time at the end of the gaddafi regime, turned into something far more difficul
