Three Tunisian nationals were killed by forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the local newspaper Attounissiya reported on Saturday. The three young Tunisian nationals infiltrated into Syria with two others from Tunisia's southern town of Ben Guerdane in March to join the Syrian opposition in its fight against the Syrian regime. The families of the victims asked the country's foreign affairs ministry to repatriate the bodies of their slain relatives, according to the report. In February, five other Tunisians arrived in Syria through Turkey to join anti-government fighters. Four of the five men were reportedly arrested while the fifth managed to escape, the newspaper said. -
