Christians from around the region are flocking to Bartella, Iraq, to
join in the celebration of Christmas, the first since Bartella was
liberated.

Bartella, just 24 km from Mosul, used to be home to thousands of
Assyrian Christians. They were forced to flee in August 2014, when
the so-called Islamic State (IS or ISIS or ISIL or Daesh) overran
Mosul and neighboring villages. Bartella was liberated from ISIS two
months ago, on October 20, by the Iraqi army operation to recapture
Mosul. Rudaw (Iraq, Kurdistan) and Agora Magazine (Italy)

**** Tunisia arrests three people over the Berlin terror attack
****


After Anis Amri, the 24 year old perpetrator of Monday's terror attack
in Berlin, killing 12 people and injuring dozens by ramming a large,
hijacked truck into a crowd at a Christmas market, was shot to death
in Milan Italy by police on Friday, there have been hundreds of
investigators all over Europe trying to determine whether Amri had
help from other jihadists.

Amri himself was a Tunisian national who sought asylum in several
European country, including Germany, but was refused. He had a
criminal record in Italy and Tunisia, and spent four years in an
Italian prison before traveling to Germany.

Tunisian authorities have arrested three people on suspicion of being
part of a "terrorist cell... connected to the terrorist Anis Amri."
Two of the three were arrested in the capital city Tunis.

The third arrest was Amri's own 18-year-old nephew, Fedi, his sister's
son, arrested in Amri's home town of Oueslatia. During initial
questioning, Fedi said that he had been in contact with uncle Anis
through the mobile app Telegram, which provides for encrypted
communications that can't be traced. He also said that uncle Anis had
sent him money to come to Germany, and asked him to pledge allegiance
to ISIS. Sky News and AP

**** Hundreds of Tunisians rally against jihadism at Bardo Museum in Tunis
****


Hundreds of people rallied at the Bardo Museum in Tunis, Tunisia's
capital city, on Saturday, protesting the lack of government action to
prevent jihadists who fought overseas from returning to the country
without facing punishment.

The news that Anis Amri, a Tunisian, was the perpetrator of last
week's terror act in Berlin has embarrassed and infuriated the
Tunisian people.

Tunisians are proud that their country launched the "Arab Spring" that
began in 2011, and the resulting transition of power was largely
peaceful. The Arab Spring uprisings were triggered on December 17,
2010, when a street vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi set fire to himself in
Sidi Bouzid in central Tunisia, in protest of the police confiscation
of his vegetable cart. After days of clashes between protesters and
the police, long-time dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was forced to
flee the country to exile in Saudi Arabia.

However, that peaceful transition has come at a price. Since its 2011
revolution, Tunisia has faced repeated jihadist attacks, killing more
than 100 soldiers and policemen, as well as about 20 civilians and 59
foreign tourists, according to official figures.

In March of last year, two terrorist gunmen infiltrated security at
the well-known Bardo Museum in Tunis, right next door to the
parliament building. They took and killed 22 hostages, with 50 people
injured. Almost all of the casualties were foreign tourists.

Tunisians were still in shock from that attack, when another attack
occurred in June. A gunman disguised as a tourist opened fire at a
Tunisian hotel in Sousse on Friday, killing 37 people.

Perhaps the most significant fact about Tunisia is that it's been the
number one source of foreign fighters who have gone to Syria to join
ISIS. Some 5,500 Tunisian citizens have left the country and are now
fighting in Syria, Iraq, Libya, and to a lesser extent Mali, far more
than the citizens of any other country.

It's believed that about 800 of these jihadists have returned to
Tunisia in the last year. It's always been feared that Tunisian
nationals returning would form terror cells in Tunisia and conduct
more terror attacks, like the ones that have occurred frequently since
2011, but the actions of a Tunisian national in the Berlin attack has
heightened those fears and created new anxieties. In fact, with
ISIS losing territory in Syria, Iraq and Libya, it's feared that
these jihadists are going to be flooding back into the country.

The purpose of Saturday's rally was to demand that further action be
taken. In particular, they demanded that the government to bring home
all Tunisian nationals living abroad who have links to extremist
organizations, so they could face trial in their home country.
