Assailants killed 14 Tunisian soldiers in an attack on two posts near the border with Algeria

Assailants killed 14 Tunisian soldiers in an attack on two posts near the border with Algeria, the government said Thursday.
  
"The toll is 14 dead soldiers and 20 wounded, and it is expected to rise," the defense ministry said, updating an earlier toll of four killed during the attack in the Mount Chaambi area.
  
"This is the heaviest recorded (death toll) to have been registered by the army since independence" in 1956, the ministry's press office told AFP.
