Military authorities said the jihadist group they are tracking in the Mount Chaambi region has ties to the al Qaeda-linked Okba Ibn Nafaa brigade; 16 members of the brigade were arrested in December. The Chaambi jihadists are said to include fighters from “neighboring countries,” including Algeria, and veterans of the Malian conflict. President Marzouki traveled out to meet the troops in the search operation, and said, “We are currently experiencing a crisis that requires a national effort.”
