| 2016-01-06 |
| [ALMANAR.LB] Security forces in Tunisia have killed a suspected foreign terrorist during an operation in the northwest of the country, the interior ministry said. National Guard units shot the man, who was armed, between Mount Serj and Mount Ballouta in Siliana province on Sunday, ministry front man Walid Louguini told Mosaique FM. "Security forces were able to shoot and kill a terrorist element who, according to an initial assessment, appears to be a foreigner," he said late on Sunday. They seized a Kalashnikov assault rifle, a hand-grenade and another bomb, he said. Extremist Death Eaters have killed dozens of police and soldiers since the 2011 revolution that ousted longtime dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. |
