Tunisia Troops Kill four Suspected Militants
[ALMANAR.LB] Tunisian troops killed four suspected forces of Evil in a counter-terrorism operation overnight that was still continuing on Tuesday, the interior ministry front man said.

There were no security force casualties in the operation in the Ain Jaffel area on the border between the central provinces of Kasserine and Sidi Bouzid, Yasser Messbah told media outlets.

Kasserine province, which neighbors Algeria, has seen repeated festivities between security forces and myrmidons.

Late last month, a suspected myrmidon was killed in an exchange of fire in the Mount Mghila area of the province.

It lies next to Mount Chaambi, which is considered to be the myrmidons' main rear base and has been the target of repeated sweeps by the security forces since 2012.

Militants have killed dozens of police and soldiers since the 2011 revolution that ousted longtime president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.

Several attacks have been claimed by the so-called 'Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb' terrorist group.

But last year, 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and the Levant' (ISIL) 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.
