The Interior Ministry announced the arrest of 21 people belonging to five armed groups linked to Ansar al Sharia, after raids in Tunis, Soukra, Dar Fadhal, Raoued, and Kram. The suspects were allegedly planning attacks, including “bombing of civil security and military targets,” on politicians, security officials, journalists, and “sensitive sites” in Tunis. Security forces arrested a woman suspected of providing support to terrorists in the forests of Kef; they also arrested a cyberjihadist who was assisting terrorists in Jebel Chaambi.
