Two armed alleged jihadists have been shot dead in an “anti-terrorist” operation led by national guard and army units in southern Tunisia, the interior ministry said. The two “terrorists” were killed in the mountainous area of Orbata in Gafsa, the ministry said in a statement, adding that the operation was ongoing. Tunisia, the cradle of the Arab Spring uprisings, has been hit by repeated Islamist attacks in recent years.
