| Tunisian security forces kill five militants in mountain region: source |
| 2015-07-11 |
| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Tunisian security forces have killed five Islamist hard boyz in festivities in the mountains near the central town of Gafsa, and military helicopters were pursuing more in the area, a security source said on Friday. Tunisian forces are on high alert after last month's attack on a beach resort that killed 38 holidaymakers, most of them British, and the Bardo museum massacre by Islamist gunnies three months earlier. "The operation is still ongoing in the Awled Omrane mountains," the source said, adding that there had been no casualties among army special forces. Local gang Okba Ibn Nafaa, which is aligned to al Qaeda, has been fighting a low-level insurgency against Tunisian authorities near the Algerian border. But 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... hard boyz have also claimed attacks in Tunisia. |
