Tunisian counter-terrorism forces killed three armed militants early Monday after surrounding their home in a clash which lasted several hours, the state news agency reported.
The siege took place in the northwest region of Jendouba, not far from the Algerian border, which has been the scene of previous confrontations with militants.
The Interior Ministry also reported early Monday that two militants in a vehicle exchanged fire with the National Guard, wounding two before escaping in the southern town of Sidi Bouzid.
