* Authorities have arrested 12 suspected members of the Islamic State group and seized bomb making materials since a suicide attack last month, the Interior Ministry said on Friday. They have also ‘dismantled four takfiri (Sunni extremist) sleeper cells in several parts of Tunisia’. The announcement follows an attack by 30-year-old female suicide bomber Mna Guebla on 29 October that wounded 26 people in the capital's busy upmarket Avenue Habib Gourguiba, in the first militant attack in the capital since November 2015.
