| [ALMANAR.LB] Tunisian forces have killed three suspected gunnies during an ongoing security sweep in the Gabes region in which one of their men was maimed, the interior ministry said on Tuesday. It said the operation in the rugged mountainous Tounine area some 30 kilometers (20 miles) south of the coastal town of Gabes began after the authorities were alerted to the presence of a "terrorist group". Two holy warriors were killed on Monday in an exchange of fire in which a member of the National Guard gendarmerie was also maimed. On Tuesday morning, a specialized unit entered a cave where a third suspected terrorist had taken refuge. He was killed in another exchange of fire. Guns and ammunition were seized during the ongoing operation, the ministry added. There was no immediate information about the identities of those killed or what group they may have belonged to. Terrorist holy warriors have killed dozens of police and soldiers since the 2011 revolution that ousted former president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Last year alone, the so-called '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.... of Iraq and the Levant' takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed... group claimed attacks on the national museum in Tunis and a popular resort hotel, killing a total of 59 tourists, and the suicide kaboom of a bus that killed 12 presidential guards. |
