A video surfaced showing Tunisian jihadist Abu Hamza al-Mouhamadi participating in the mass execution of Iraqi troops by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham. Interior Minister Jeddou recently said that some 2,400 Tunisian jihadists are fighting in Syria, most of them in ISIS or in al Qaeda's Syrian branch, the Al Nusrah Front. On June 24 a Tunisian and a Libyan were arrested at the Dhiba border post carrying weapons and ammunition. Border agents at Ras Jedir arrested a man entering Tunisia from Libya in possession of a pistol and electric shock devices last week.
