Tunisian Forces Clash With Militants, 7 Killed In Border Town

Tunisian troops have killed seven more Islamic militants during raids in Ben Guerdan, the town on the Libyan border where at least 55 people died during an attack on Monday by Islamic State group fighters, the army said Wednesday.

Witnesses and security sources said clashes were continuing Wednesday between the armed forces and militants just outside Ben Guerdan in another operation to clear the area of fighters who appear to be seeking a territorial foothold inside Tunisia.
