Following the death of six security forces in a landmine blast yesterday, four more soldiers were killed by a landmine today in Ksar el-Gallel in Kef. The military claimed to have destroyed a hideout for terrorist groups in Mount Ouergha and to be actively searching for the "terrorist elements." A young man died in a landmine explosion yesterday near Sbeitla by the Mount Sammama closed military zone. The Foreign Ministry released a statement purporting to "clarify the circumstances" regarding the recent release of two kidnapped Tunisian diplomats held in Libya by Ansar al Sharia, but the statement failed to disclose information about the kidnappers or whether their demands for the release of jailed Libyan Islamist militants had been met.
