Tunisian police arrest suspected jihadists accused of planning attacks

TUNIS (Reuters) - Tunisian police have arrested a dozen suspected Islamist militants said to be planning attacks as Tunisia prepares for the election that is supposed to complete a post-revolution transition to democracy.

Interior Ministry spokesman Mohamed Ali Aroui said on Friday police had seized explosives and weapons including rocket-propelled grenades destined for Mount Chaambi, where security forces have been hunting Islamist militants for months.
