| 2018-12-20 |
| [AlAhram] Tunisian authorities on Wednesday dismantled a cell planning attacks on security forces and seized material for making explosives, the Interior Ministry said. Most of the members of the cell, dubbed the Brigade of Jihad and Unity, were jugged Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! and were being held in prison, the ministry said in a statement. It had pledged allegiance to an unidentified bad boy group abroad and planned attacks targeting security posts and patrols in the central province of Sidi Bouzid, it said. An boom belt, grenades and bomb-making material were seized during the operation, it added. Tunisia has been on high security alert since 2015 when 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.... button men killed 38 tourists in a museum in the capital and on a beach in the resort city of Sousse. Since then security has improved with only sporadic smaller attacks, allowing the vital tourism industry to recover as foreigners have returned to Tunisia's Mediterranean beaches. Authorities say more than 3,000 Tunisians have left to fight for jihadist groups in Syria, Iraq and Libya. Many of them have been killed in battle while others have been tossed in the calaboose Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! or put under house arrest after returning to Tunisia. |
