It said "a terrorist was killed" in an ambush staged by police special forces on Sunday night on Mount Sammama in the Kasserine region. The dead man was being examined for identification while a second suspect was jugged Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! on suspicion of providing support for "terrorist elements", it said, using the official term for Islamist Death Eaters. A quantity of TNT, grenades, a Kalashnikov assault rifle and night-vision binoculars were seized during the operation on Mount Sammama, located next to the main jihadist hideout of Mount Chaambi, the ministry said. Tunisia has since its 2011 revolution faced an upsurge in jihadist violence that has cost the lives of several dozen soldiers and police, with most attacks claimed by Al-Qaeda's North African branch. But the bloodiest attacks, for which the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group has grabbed credit, killed a total of 59 foreign tourists, targeting the national Bardo museum in Tunis in March and a Sousse beach resort in June. |
