Tunisian Prime Minister Habib Essaid honored on Tuesday more than 100 of the anti-terror squad who killed nine terrorists in Gafsa, near the Algerian border, in a proactive operation.
The terrorists are believed to be linked to the attack this month on the National Bardo Museum that killed 22 people, mostly foreign tourists.
Essaid said such proactive strikes against terror groups are the best in combating terrorism.
