“Seven Islamist militants and a Tunisian policeman were killed in a gun battle after police raided a house in Tunis where weapons, explosives and suicide bomb belts were found, a security source said. The clash broke out late on Monday when police surrounded a house in Raoued, a northern suburb of the capital, in an attempt to arrest a group of suspected militants hiding there. ‘They had suicide bomb belts and explosive material and they were well-armed,’ Interior Ministry spokesman Mohamed Ali Aroui said, without naming the group to which the men belonged.”
