Confirmed news sources have it that Tunisia had foiled six irregular immigration attempts to cross the Mediterranean Sea into Europe this week.
National Guard spokesman, Hosam Eddin Al-Jababli, in a statement, said the attempts had been thwarted by naval forces on Jan. 6 and 7 with 230 irregular migrants rescued.
