Tunisia: 36 militants killed after attack on barracks
[CNN] At least 36 Seven "terrorists" were also tossed in the clink Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! after the attack in the town of Ben Gardane, the ministry statement said. The ministry earlier said 17 people -- including seven civilians, six members of the national guard, two coppers, one soldier, and one customs official -- were killed, but a later statement gave a total of 18, without indicating if the new fatality was a civilian or a member of the military. Security forces are chasing "the groups," and entrances to Ben Gardane have been secured, the government said. Air patrols in the area around the border have also intensified, and the main crossings with Libya -- Ras Ajdir and Dheiba -- have been closed. Authorities have asked residents in Ben Gardane to stay indoors and report any suspicious activity. Posted by: Fred 2016-03-08 |
