[Al Ahram] Tunisian security forces hunting gunnies that killed a policeman near the Algerian border this week have tossed in the clinkDrop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! 11 suspects, a security official said on Wednesday. "Eleven men, bearded ones, were captured, and another one is still on the run," the official told AFP, using the word "bearded" to designate Islamist orcs. On Monday, gunnies shot and killed Anis Jlassi, head of the cop shoppe in the western region of Kassarine and maimed four of his men. Security forces had been hunting for the gunnies near Dernaya. At the beginning of the operation, the security services said they were seeking five "bearded" men and that they had located their camp, where an item of Algerian origin and a Tunisian SIM card were discovered. Earlier on Wednesday, a security official said Tunisian forces had lost track of the gang. Meanwhile, ...back at the pool hall, Peoria Slim swung his cue at Hurley's head... the interior ministry said security forces defused on Tuesday an bomb that a man had left on a bus in Kairouan in central Tunisia. It did not provide any other details. Clashes, strikes and attacks by hardline Islamists have multiplied across Tunisia in the run-up to the second anniversary of the start of Tunisia's revolution, which will be marked on Monday. Members of Tunisia's orc Salafist movement, thought to number between 3,000 and 10,000, have been implicated in numerous acts of violence since last year's revolt. |
