Tunisia says IS plot to seize territory foiled
[IsraelTimes] Tunisia says it has foiled a "terrorist plot" aimed at allowing Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group jihadists to seize part of its territory. Authorities "uncovered a terrorist plot" targeting police and military units in the southern town of Ben Guerdane in a fresh bid to claim territory for IS, the interior ministry says in a statement. In March last year, jihadists mounted a coordinated assault on security installations in the town on Tunisia’s border with Libya, aiming to win over residents and establish an IS "emirate." That attack cost the lives of seven civilians and 13 members of the security forces. Fifty-five assailants were killed. The latest plot sought to "take advantage of social unrest... to help ISIS elements infiltrate our country in order to carry out terrorist attacks and try to seize security and military buildings," the ministry says, using an Arabic acronym for IS. Five people were placed in durance vile Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! , it adds. Posted by: trailing wife 2017-08-16 |
