The assault, linked to Islamic State militants, killed dozens and devastated the town of Palma, spurring legal action from survivors and victims' relatives who claim the energy giant failed to safeguard its subcontractors. The company halted its multi-billion dollar LNG project post-attack but aims to resume operations.
