A group of 15 to 20 terrorists armed with machine guns attacked the home of Interior Minister Jeddou in Kasserine on the night of May 27, killing four security guards and injuring three more. Jeddou was away at the time. The day before, a Tunis court had ordered the dissolution of the League for Protection of the Revolution (LPR) and all of its 20-some branches; the Islamist group, formed in 2012, has been blamed for attacks on journalists, politicians, and civic organizations. The militants who attacked Jeddou's home are thought to be from Mount Chaambi and to have links to al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. On May 23, the Interior Ministry published photos of 19 wanted terrorists.
