Tunisia: Five terrorists killed in clashes near the border Libyan

Five terrorists were killed Wednesday in clashes with the military and security forces in the region of Ben Guerdane (south), near the Libyan border, told AFP the spokesman for the Tunisian Ministry of Defense.
“Five terrorists holed up in a house in El Aouija were shot by the military and security forces,” who seized five Kalashnikov said Belhassen Oueslati. He confirmed that a military commander had been wounded in the head during the operation and was in a “stable condition”.
In a statement, the Interior Ministry, for its part announced that a civilian hit by a stray bullet, was also killed during the fighting.
The ministry said the authorities had been informed of the possible entry on Tunisian soil, in the last three days of “terrorist groups”, following a US raid in the region of Sabratha (western Libya) .
This air raid, conducted on February 19 against a training camp of the Islamic State group (EI), had made a hundred deaths. The Pentagon said it had probably avoided a bombing in Tunisia.
According to the Tunisian Ministry of the Interior, three vehicles “belonging to terrorist elements,” a “weapon of war”, explosive belts, a large amount of ammunition and “homemade grenades” were seized Wednesday. search operations were continuing in the evening, according to the Ministry of Defence.
Tunisia, which has repeatedly expressed its concern about the chaos in Libya, recently completed the construction of a “system of barriers” nearly half of the 500 km of common border, to strengthen the fight against smuggling weapons and more broadly against terrorism.
Monday, London announced that a team of 20 British soldiers would visit the country in order to help secure the border, fighting in particular “against illegal entry.”
