Tunisia - SANA
Tunisian forces have eliminated five terrorists during a military operation with the participation of security forces in the Shaanbi Mountains, Kasserine Governorate, on the border with Algeria.
The Tunisian Ministry of the Interior said in a statement today: “Based on accurate technical data, security units of the Ministry of the Interior, and the ground and air military units of the Ministry of National Defense, were able to eliminate five terrorist elements that infiltrated one of the heights of the Kasserine Mountains.”
The ministry indicated that the aforementioned operation is continuing in the region in search of other terrorists.
Since 2012, Tunisian forces have been engaged in campaigns to track down terrorist groups that belong to cells affiliated with Al-Qaeda in Morocco as well as the terrorist organization "ISIS".
In early April, the Tunisian Ministry of Interior announced the elimination of three terrorists in the mountains of the Kasserine Governorate.
