Two Tunisian security members were killed in the clashes that erupted with militants in a town near the border with Libya on Monday, a security source said.

The two security members died at hospital of wounds they sustained in the fighting, the source was quoted by Radio Mosaique FM as saying.

Earlier in the day, militants staged simultaneous attacks on an army barracks and national guards in Ben Gardane, triggering heavy fighting with security forces that left 35 terrorists dead.

Seven militants were arrested.
