Tunisia dismantles ‘terrorist cells’: Interior Ministry

TUNIS, 01 Dec 2018 [Fik/News Sources]: The Tunisian authorities have broken up four “terrorist sleeper cells” that had been planning attacks inside the North African country, according to the Interior Ministry. 
In a statement released Thursday evening, the ministry said at least 12 people -- constituting four “sleeper cells” -- had been arrested by Tunisian security forces.
“A significant quantity of explosive and chemical materials -- including toxic gases, electronic components and a drone -- were confiscated,” the statement read.  
Earlier this month, Interior Minister Hisham al-Furati announced that security forces had thwarted several attacks by the Daesh terrorist group. 
Last month, a woman blew herself up in capital Tunis, killing herself and injuring dozens of passersby.
