Embassy blueprint found on dead militants

More than two dozen Islamic extremists involved in a deadly fire fight with police this month had blueprints of foreign embassies and documents naming foreign envoys, Tunisia’s official news agency quoted the interior minister as saying today.

Interior Minister Rafik Haj Kacem described the extremists involved in the clash earlier this month as “terrorists” in a closed door meeting with members of Tunisia’s governing party and suggested links with Islamic extremists in neighbouring Algeria, the TAP news agency reported.
