(TAP) – The terrorist killed on Monday night on Mount Salloum (Kasserine governorate), has been identified, the National Defence Ministry announced Tuesday.



The terrorist is Hamdi Ben Mohamed Tahar Trabelsi, born on July 18, 1986, from the Khaled Ibn Al Walid neighbourhood in the Manouba governorate and member of the "Jond al-Khilafa Katibat," the ministry pointed out in a press release.



Five 7.62mm-calibre cartridges, binoculars and a back bag full of supplies had been seized on the scene of clashes.



According to the same source, a military unit supported by attack helicopters are still hunting down the remaining members of the terrorist group holed up on Mount Salloum.



“The sweeping operation is still on,” the ministry affirmed.



Armed clashes erupted on Monday night between national Army units and a group of terrorists detected while leaving a house near Mount Salloum.

It appears that ISIS claimed that they used an IED to target the pipeline, to be honest I won't be so surprised if they did since the series of mountains these rats operate in is between kasserine and exactly Sbitla (where the incident took place) and Sidi Bouzid and other regions, still it seems more like a false flag, a security source said it was only a technical problem and I tend to believe him since the explosion happened in a remote region, resulted in no human casualties and was under control in the very same night, so really huge risks to go that far and put an IED for such minor results.

Interesting, so it might not even be a terrorist incident after all? Some of the reports are claiming it was an explosion of the pipeline. Funny how the Twitter journo wannabes claim the area where the incident took place is actually an AQ cretin area of operations. If it wasn't a hit then good, hopefully they show it and if it was, then hopefully they disinfect the entire area.

It could be one.
Not much from TN journos, but it's understandable, since there is some blackout on this matter.

We can't speak about AQ in Tunisia in those last years, it's mostly ISIS. but in the End, terros are terros, whatever the name.
Desert and Mountains are also "hiding" places for them, that's why a good part of the Deep South Desert is sort of "Closed" to civilians and that few "mountains" are military areas.

As for this news and if it's indeed true. Then we can say that's it's a "Good" News. Since most of Terros targets in previous years were "alive assets"... meaning by such "actions" they are sort of "cornered" to "Dumb" targets, to stay relevant.
Therefore In a way, we can say that "TN security forces" are doing their job.

apologies for the late reply.
the area as a whole is a very safe area, the explosion took place in lHrahra region which is a small village with no important assets whatsoever around 6 to 9 km away from the town of Sbitla (that has a whole military regiment in it )
however the base of operations of these rats (Jbal Mghila and nearby mountains) provide a good hiding and escape route for them every now and then and these mountains exist in the outskirts of the region, so they do not really operate in it
but rather cross through the mountains every time they have the chance to in order to escape raids and airstrikes etc...
the group has suffered a lot with its Emir being killed then the one who took over after him captured alive then most of the members killed in SF operations or during bombings. so they'd try to claim anything whatsoever to rise the morale.
the pipeline itself is an old one from the 1970s and known for having major technical issues, so it is more likely that it was just a technical problem.

Well, With his background, it's in his nature.
Let's hope that further "Americanisation" doesn't equal in the future "100% American Dependency"

The article will mostly point out his background... What was made in Tunisia till now about this "Transformation" and How the transformation "could" continue in this way.

we'll have just to wait and see
I don't think the relationship would grow eventually to a dependecy, another interesting reading:
seems our eyes look towards China as well
