Two Tunisian soldiers were killed by a homemade bomb in Dhroga during ongoing operations against terrorists holed up in the Jebel Chaambi area who "receive assistance from other entities" and "are about to move." Some 45 terrorists have already been detained, including the owner of a weapons storehouse. Terrorists thought to be in the area include Kamel Gadhgadhi, assassin of opposition leader Chokri Belaid, and Abou Iyadh, the leader of Ansar al Sharia Tunisia, who is wanted for the September 2012 attack on the US Embassy in Tunis. Special forces raided the Hammam-Lif home of Abou Iyadh yesterday but did not find him.
