Islamist Militants disguised as security officials killed three Tunisian policemen and a civilian in an attack near the border with Algeria, the state news agency TAP said on Sunday. Tunisia's security forces have been battling Militants from the banned Islamist movement Ansar al-Sharia, whose leader has declared allegiance to al Qaeda's **rth Africa wing. TAP said four gunmen dressed as Tunisian security officials killed the four and wounded two police and a border agent just after midnight in d'Awled Manna, in **rthwest Jendouba province. Ansar al-Sharia was one of the most hardline Islamist groups to emerge after Tunisia's 2011 uprising against autocrat Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, whose government often jailed Islamist leaders.
