              Tunisian Troops Kill 10 Militants Near Libyan Border

   by VOA News

   Tunisia's Interior Ministry said Monday troops killed 10 militants who
   attacked a police station and military facility near the Libyan border.

   Officials said at least three civilians and one soldier were also
   killed in the clashes in the southeastern town of Ben Guerdane.

   Authorities urged residents there to stay inside after the shooting
   began.

   Western militaries are helping advise Tunisian forces as concerns grow
   about militants in Libya, including those from the Islamic State group,
   crossing the border to carry out attacks.

   Last week, Britain announced it was sending a training team of about 20
   soldiers to help secure the border.
