The nine were killed in the Mount Taouyer area of the Beja region, some 70 kilometers (40 miles) west of Tunis, front man Taoufik Rahmouni was quoted as saying by the official TAP news agency. Another ministry front man had earlier said troops had captured one member of the group during the operation to hunt down a cell of some 20 suspected jihadists blamed for the killing of the coppers. |
