Security forces in Aouina and Sidi Bouzid uncovered a terrorist network that smuggles hunting guns from Libya into Tunisia. The Interior Ministry is seeking to arrest three suspected terrorists: Tunisian national Hichem Ben Mohamed Ben Abderrazzek Berrebeh, and Algerian citizens Khaled Hamadi Chaied and Mohamed Amine Mahkouka. Arrest warrants have been issued for six of some 20 jihadists said to have fought in Syria with the ISIS. On July 11, a returned jihadist told a court he had gone to Syria at the bidding of Bilel Chaouachi, a Salafist imam whom authorities recently questioned about his call for allegiance to the Islamic State’s Abu Bakr al Baghdadi.
