Tunisia Names Three Suspects Wanted over Bus Bombing
2015-12-01
[ALMANAR.LB] Tunisia has identified three suspects wanted over Tuesday's suicide kaboom that killed 12 presidential guards and is offering a financial reward for information leading to their arrest.

The interior ministry issued a statement on Friday evening identifying the desperados as Hassan Ben Khalifa Bouchiba, Houcine Ben Khalifa Bouchiba and Walid Ben Mohammed Ali Yousfi.

A preliminary probe has proven that these "terrorist elements... (are) linked to the kaboom on a bus of the presidential guard," the statement said.

The ministry also promised "an important financial reward" for "anyone providing information leading to the arrest" of the three suspects.

Tuesday's suicide kaboom in the centre of Tunis was claimed by the ISIL group and authorities have identified the bomber as a 26-year-old Tunisian travelling salesman Houssam Abdelli.

The interior ministry has said that dozens of suspects have been locked away

since the attack.

ISIL also grabbed credit for two attacks earlier this year at the National Bardo Museum in Tunis and on a hotel near the Mediterranean resort of Sousse that killed a total of 60 people, all but one of them foreign tourists.

The secretary of state for national security, Rafik Chelly, told private Mosaique FM radio that all these attacks were planned in neighboring Libya.
