May 31, (AFP): A landmine blast killed two women and wounded a third on Monday near Mount Sammama, Tunisia’s defence ministry said, blaming “terrorist elements”. Ministry spokesman Belhassen Oueslati told AFP the two were killed while gathering herbs when the home-made device exploded near the base of Mount Sammama in the Kasserine region, where a military operation is under way. The third woman was seriously wounded and flown to hospital by military helicopter, he added
