TUNIS, (SANA) – Tunisian authorities on Friday admitted that there are Tunisian citizens who were killed or arrested in Syria, and that they were members of the armed terrorist groups.

Tunisian Interior Minister, Ali al-Areed, said that some Tunisians travelled to Syria and some of them were arrested or killed, while others still operating among armed groups, adding that the ministry has no accurate information about their numbers.
