Tunis, May 14 (IANS/AKI) Two young Tunisians have been arrested over suspicions that they work for Israel's Mossad intelligence agency.

The Al-Moussawar newspaper said one of the suspects was caught while he was allegedly sending information via the internet on the security situation in the Jebel Chaambi area of the Kasserine governorate.

The second youth was arrested on suspicion of transmitting sensitive information via a social networking website and of abetting the first suspect, Al-Moussawar said.

Both the youths come from Biserta in the northeast Tunisian coast, the paper reported.
