A policeman is also killed in the exchange in the working class suburb of Intilaka, ministry spokesman Sofiene Zaag tells AFP.
“The terrorist Aymen Smiri was implicated in the twin suicide bombings on Thursday and investigations proved that he was the mastermind of the operation,” Zaag says, adding he was a “very active and very dangerous leader.”
