TUNIS, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- Tunisian security forces have dismantled a drug trafficking network active in Ben Arous and Ariana provinces near the capital Tunis, arresting four individuals, including two foreigners, the Tunisian National Guard said Sunday on its Facebook page.

During the operation, an undisclosed amount of cocaine prepared for distribution was seized, the Tunisian National Guard said, without mentioning the time of the operation.

Upon reviewing the case, the public prosecution authorized their detention pending investigations.

The Tunisian National Guard called on all citizens to cooperate with the security services by reporting any suspicious information or movements.

The Tunisian government has taken a strong stance against drug trafficking, arresting hundreds of individuals involved in the crime during recent nationwide operations. ■
