Tunisian military jets have attacked three vehicles loaded with weapons driving near the Libyan border. The incident happened in a remote part of the Sahara desert where the borders of Libya, Tunisia and Algeria meet. Reports suggest the cars were travelling from Libya to Algeria. State media initially reported that all three vehicles were destroyed, but the Associated Press quoted an unnamed security official as saying one car had escaped into Algeria [...] Arms trafficking has exploded in the region since the fall of autocratic leaders in Libya and Tunisia last year.
