The bombing raid is thought to have killed 40 people including Noureddine Chouchane who was wanted over two terror attacks in Tunisia last year – the Sousse beach attack and the attack on the Bardo Museum in Tunis.

Intelligence officials said it was 'likely' he was among more than 30 ISIS recruits killed in the strikes. Joel Richards, from Wednesbury, was gunned down while on holiday in Sousse last June, alongside his uncle Adrian Evans, of Bilston, and grandfather Patrick Evans.

A total of 38 people lost their lives in the terror attack.

Former Black Country solicitor Sally Adey, who lived near Albrighton, was killed in the Bardo Museum attack.
