This video was submitted to us by one of our Tunisian Friends. Some of you may recognize him from the comments section, he goes by the name Mootz or Mootaz, and has been following our project ardently since around the time I started working on it back in 2015. Special shoutout to Mootaz for not only finding this video, but for also getting us the complete context translated into English, which we'll have below.
Context: An elite anti terror unit from the Tunisian National Guard carried out a well-executed raid that resulted in the deaths of two terrorist leaders belonging to the Uqba bin Nafi Battalion in the city of Sidi Bouzid. Three other suspects were arrested. Both of the dead insurgents were wearing explosive suicide belts, and one blew himself up during the gun battle, but only managed to kill himself. The other insurgent was killed by small arms fire about an hour into the firefight. Although not confirmed, one of the deceased, the one who blew himself up, is said to have been the top emir of the Uqba bin Nafi Battalion insurgent group.
If you have any questions about the video, please leave a comment below. Mootaz will be watching and periodically answering questions people may have about his armed forces or this video in particular. He's a veterans of the Tunisian military, and well versed in the on-going conflicts in his home country.
