Security forces have besieged an area in Kasserine near the Algerian border after reports of the presence of armed groups. The ruling Islamist Ennahda party agreed to meet with the opposition “without conditions” to try to resolve the current political impasse. Captured terrorist Mohamed Habib Al-Omri told authorities that the killing of eight Tunisian soldiers last month in Jebel Chaambi was carried out by a group of 16 militants from Algeria, Mali, Mauritania, and Nigeria.
