TUNIS, Dec. 28 (Xinhua) -- Tunisian security forces have dismantled a drug trafficking network active in the southeastern province of Sfax, arresting two individuals, the Tunisian National Guard said Saturday on its Facebook page.
It said that one of the arrestees had been wanted on various charges, and that the forces have also seized five plaques of cannabis and a sum of money from drug trafficking during the operation.
Upon reviewing the case, the public prosecution authorized their detention pending investigations, it said, without mentioning the timing of the operation or the nationalities of the arrestees.
The Tunisian government has taken a strong stance against drug trafficking, arresting hundreds of suspects in recent nationwide operations. ■
