Tunisian journalism union says reporter detained over report on militants

Tunisia's main journalism union said anti-terrorism police detained a radio reporter on Friday for refusing to reveal his sources on a story about militants.

Amira Mohamed, an official from the National Syndicate of Tunisian Journalists, said the reporter from Mosaique FM was held for questioning after broadcasting a story about authorities breaking up a militant cell.

The police's National Unit for Investigation of Terrorist Crimes did not immediately respond to phone calls seeking comment. (Reporting By Tarek Amara; Editing by Andrew Heavens)
