| [IBTIMES.CO.UK] Police in Tunisia have killed two Islamist Lions of Islam in possession of a prepared suicide belt in dawn raids on the Death Eater hotbed of Kasserine. Rooters reported that the murderous Moslems, believed to be linked to al-Qaeda, were tracked by police following an earlier ambush on an army patrol. "A security operation carried out this morning (31 August), in Karma town, was a preventive assault against two forces of Evil planning attacks in the region," the ministry said in a statement. Weapons, a suicide belt and other material was seized in the house. One civilian was killed over the course of a shoot-out, an unnamed security source was quoted as saying. On 29 August, three soldiers were killed and eight maimed in an ambush, as Lions of Islam attacked with landmines, rockets and gunfire. |
