The National Guard killed two militants and arrested four others in the operation and they are still pursuing others. Tunisian security forces killed a “dangerous” ISIS leader who was plotting attacks during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, authorities said Monday. Houssem Tlithi, 20, was killed in a National Guard operation on Sunday night near the Algerian border. The Interior Ministry said the suspect, a member of the Oqba bin Nafi battalion, had been on the run since 2014 and hiding in the Mount Salloum region, an extremist stronghold. Eleven arrest warrants had been issued against the suspect in connection with “terrorist operations”, the ministry said.
