Sufian al-Sulaiti, a spokesman for Tunisia’s counter-terrorism apparatus, has said that Haikel Saydani, who was deported from Germany to Tunisia on May 9 after two years of negotiations, is one of the most notorious Tunisian terrorist members. Initial investigations proved his involvement in various terrorist operations in Tunisia between 2013 and 2016, said Sulaiti. The public prosecution in Tunisia decided to extend Saydani’s detention pending further investigations into his involvement in several terrorist attacks on Tunisian soil. According to judicial sources, Saydani has received many charges, including facilitating the movement of ISIS members between Syria and Turkey. The sources affirmed that he is involved in several terrorist attacks in Tunisia such as the assassination attempt of former Tunisian Minister of Interior Hadi El-Majdoub, and the Mnihla operation (west of the Tunisia capital in 2016) that resulted in the arrest of more than 30 terrorists plotting to travel to Syria and Libya. Germany handed Saydani over based on an international arrest warrant in addition to a request by the Tunisian justice ministry’s criminal affairs department. The Federal Constitutional Court said German authorities had obtained sufficient assurances from Tunisia that Saydani wouldnt face the capital punishment in his home country. Saydani, 36, is accused of participating in the 2015 attack at the National Bardo Museum in the capital that killed 21 foreign tourists and a Tunisian policeman.  Tunisian authorities also accuse him of involvement in the 2016 attack on the border town of Ben Guerdane.
