LONDON — (CNN) UK police believe two deadly shootings in Tunisia — one in March at the Bardo Museum in Tunis and another in June at a beachfront hotel in Sousse — are connected, Metropolitan Police Cmdr. Richard Walton said Wednesday.
The attack in the resort of Sousse on June 26 killed 38 people, the majority of them British tourists.
In the Bardo attack, 22 people — also mostly tourists — were killed.
“While I cannot go into further details regarding this live investigation, I can confirm that a team of officers, led by a senior detective from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, are working closely with the Tunisian authorities on both investigations and we have advised the coroner of the connection between the two,” Walton said.
