IED kills four Tunisian soldiers in mountain region
[AlAhram] Tunisia faces a small but persistent murderous Moslem threat, foreign diplomats focused on security say

An improvised bomb killed four Tunisian soldiers patrolling in a mountain region near the Algerian border, Defence Ministry front man Mohammed Zekri said on Wednesday.

The mountainous Moghila area, near the impoverished city of Kasserine, is home to an Islamist murderous Moslem group that the Tunisian army has been fighting for years.

Tunisia faces a small but persistent murderous Moslem threat, foreign diplomats focused on security say.

As well as jihadist cells holed up in remote mountain regions, who have not made successful forays beyond their strongholds in recent years, there is also a threat from bandidos holy warriors radicalised online.

Last year bandidos holy warriors tried to attack the U.S. embassy in Tunis, killing a policeman at a security point with a boom jacket, and months later stabbed two security officers in a knife attack in the city of Sousse.

In October, a young Tunisian migrant arrived in La Belle France and immediately killed three people in a church.
