Shortly after the March 7 attack in Ben Gardane, President Beji Caid Essebsiexpressed concern that ISIS is actively trying to establish an emirate on Tunisian soil. While that outcome is not likely in the near future, there is no question that ISIS’ expansion in Libya has direct implications for Tunisia’s security.
