FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Three policemen and a civilian have been killed and four other people wounded in Tunisia in a militant attack near the border with Algeria.
“This cowardly operation was carried out by a terrorist group comprising at least 5 people. Three of them are Tunisians and they were identified. The two others are foreigners,” said Interior Ministry Spokesman Mohamed Ali Aroui on Sunday.
The attack was carried out in d’Awled Manna, in Tunisia’s northwest Jendouba Province.
The gunmen, who were wearing uniforms of Tunisian security officials, had stolen weapons and a vehicle, reports say.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the assault; however, Salafi militants have been blamed for similar attacks in the past.
Tunisia has been battling militants from the banned Salafi movement the so-called Ansar al-Sharia.
On December 30, 2013, leader of Ansar al-Sharia Seifallah Ben Hassine was arrested in Libya after a Tunisian court ordered an international warrant for his arrest.
At least 200 people including the supporters of the group were arrested last May following clashes between security forces and Salafis in a suburb of the capital, Tunis.
The Ansar al-Sharia is one of the militant groups formed after the Tunisian revolution, which led to the ouster of the country’s dictator, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, in 2011.
The Tunisian government declared the group a terrorist organization earlier this year.
