| [AnNahar] Four jihadists were killed Thursday in festivities with the Tunisian army in a mountainous region near the border with Algeria, the defense ministry said. A statement said troops clashed with jihadists at dawn on Mount Sammama near Mount Chaambi, where the army has been battling gunnies since 2012. Citing what it said was an initial toll it reported "four faceless myrmidons killed and others maimed," adding that there were no military casualties. The defense ministry said soldiers had seized electronic supplies and destroyed a vehicle during the operation. Tunisia has seen a surge in radical Islam since veteran president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was ousted in the 2011 revolution. Dozens of security forces have been killed since then in jihadist attacks. |
