For security reasons, the Transport Ministry canceled all flights coming from Mitiga, Misrata, and Sirte airports in Libya. The Interior Ministry announced the arrest of seven terrorists earlier this week; four were detained in Gabes as they tried to flee into Libya, and three others in Medenine. The suspects in Medenine were thought to be document forgers linked to a terrorist group in Libya; police seized a gun, a printer, and items used for forging passport stamps. All seven are suspected of involvement in a foiled Ansar al Sharia plot to assassinate political and security officials earlier this month. Authorities also arrested nine other suspected terrorists in several locations yesterday; four had attempted to kill a soldier in Ettadhamen, two were planning to attack security forces in El Kef, and others were accused of pledging allegiance to Ansar al Sharia and a foreign terrorist group, among other crimes.
