[MAGHAREBIA] Bizerte security services juggedPlease don't kill me! three religious holy warriors in connection with letters written to Tunisian army officers in Zarzouna, TAP reported on Tuesday (August 5th). The letters contained death threats and refereed to the security services as "taghout". In other security news, Tunisian National Guard members arrested three turbans in the Sidi Bouzid suburb of Regueb. The suspects are linked with Ansar al-Sharia ...a Salafist militia which claims it is not part of al-Qaeda, even though it works about the same and for the same ends. There are groups of the same name in Libyaand Yemen, with the Libyan versions currently most active. Tunisia's Shabaab al-Tawhid started out an Ansar al-Sharia and changed its name in early 2014. It still uses the old name now and then, probably because the stationery's not all used up and the web site hasn't expired yet... figure Afif Amouri, who was arrested on July 31th. |
