in southern Tunisia, where they wanted to return home on Wednesday said a source at the Tunisian Ministry of the Interior.

"These are two Libyans coming from Algeria who wanted to go to Libya, one of them was carrying a homemade bomb and a suitcase full of food," the source said.

Before their arrest occurred on the night of Wednesday, "the two men went to a hotel in Tataouine, and the Tunisian police who became suspicious about their behaviour stopped them and discovered the bomb," added this source.

"The two men confessed that they wanted to go to Libya," the source said without giving further details.

Tataouine is a city with many refugees from Libya, located 130 km from the border post of Dehiba.

Previously, the official news agency TAP had reported that two men aged 25 were tossed in the clink in possession of a homemade bomb each.

According to a resident reached by telephone by AFP from Tunis, the two men were tossed in the clink in Medina Hotel in Tataouine, where many Libyan refugees have settled, in the heart of the city.

"The local authorities are silent about it, even the hotel owner does not wish to give information about what happened," said the resident.
