Tunis (IINA) – Tunisian security forces arrested two extremist militants accused in last week's bombing in Tunis and seized a cache of weapons and explosives they were planning to use for more attacks, the Interior Ministry said in a statement.
In a late Sunday raid in Medenine in the south of the country, officials found Kalashnikov rifles, a suicide bomb belt, explosive materials for making car bombs, grenades and detonators, the statement said.
Tunisia is under a state of emergency since last Tuesday when a suicide bomber killed 12 people aboard a bus carrying presidential guards in the capital Tunis. The Islamic State (IS) terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the bombing.
A Tunisian security source said the two men arrested on Sunday night were brothers.
