Western security officials worry crucial intelligence on terror groups in North Africa will dry up as repressive &#8212; but effective &#8212; security services are dismantled or reorganized following the Arab revolts. Those concerns, expressed by European and Israeli intelligence officers in interviews with The Associated Press, add urgency to reports of foreign fighters with suspected al-Qaida crossing into Tunisia.(AP Photo/Lindsay Mackenzie)</p> http://www.newsvine.com/_news/2011/05/18/6668334-tunisian-colonel-killed-in-clash-with-armed-grouphttp://www.newsvine.com/_news/2011/05/18/6668334-tunisian-colonel-killed-in-clash-with-armed-grouptunisiainterior-ministryworld-newsclashmlWed, 18 May 2011 16:26:25 +0000http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/posthttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/generic_post http://www.newsvine.com/_news/2011/05/17/6658867-tunisian-source-libyan-oil-minister-defectshttp://www.newsvine.com/_news/2011/05/17/6658867-tunisian-source-libyan-oil-minister-defectslibyatunisiamoammar-gadhafiworld-newsmlTue, 17 May 2011 10:25:46 +0000http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/posthttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/generic_post http://www.newsvine.com/_news/2011/05/15/6647763-tunisia-lifts-curfew-in-near-capitalhttp://www.newsvine.com/_news/2011/05/15/6647763-tunisia-lifts-curfew-in-near-capitaltunisiamoammar-gadhafiworld-newsmlSun, 15 May 2011 13:29:00 +0000http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/posthttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/generic_post http://www.newsvine.com/_news/2011/05/07/6604550-tunisia-finds-58-bodies-on-its-beacheshttp://www.newsvine.com/_news/2011/05/07/6604550-tunisia-finds-58-bodies-on-its-beachestunisiaworld-newsmlSat, 7 May 2011 23:16:27 +0000http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/posthttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/generic_post http://www.newsvine.com/_news/2011/04/19/6500871-palestinian-leader-there-will-be-no-new-uprisinghttp://www.newsvine.com/_news/2011/04/19/6500871-palestinian-leader-there-will-be-no-new-uprisingpalestinianstunisiaworld-newsmlWed, 20 Apr 2011 00:45:33 +0000http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/posthttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/generic_post<p>Tunisian President Fouad Mebazaa, left, greets Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas prior to their meeting at the Presidential Palace in Carthage, outside Tunis, Tuesday April 19, 2011.

A Navy ship and a commercial ferry arrived in the morning, and at least three more are expected throughout the day. The ships will move some of the migrants to temporary shelters elsewhere in Italy. About 18,000 migrants, mostly Tunisians, have arrived in Lampedusa, which is closer to North Africa than to mainland Italy, since mid-January. Many have been transferred to other centers in Italy, but about 6,000 remain on the island.
