CAIRO, July 9 (Xinhua) -- Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul-Gheit on Monday strongly condemned the terrorist attack in Tunisia which left nine security officers dead and others injured.

Arab League Spokesman Ambassador Mahmoud Afifi said the Arab League renewed it's support for Tunisia in its fight against terrorism.

The Arab League chief asserted that such criminal acts would not dismay Tunisian leadership and people from going on their track of ending such crimes which threaten the security and stability of all Arab societies, the spokesman said.

Aboul-Gheit offered condolences to the Tunisian president, government and people as well as the families of the victims and wished the injured a speedy recovery.

At least nine members of Tunisia's security forces were killed on Sunday by a group of terrorists in a border security station in northwest Jendouba province.
