Tunisian police have found plans of embassies and explosives after a gun battle with suspected Islamic extremists, the interior minister says.

A list of names of foreign diplomats in the country was also discovered after the 3 January clash in which 12 gunmen were killed, said Rafik Haj Kacem.

The men were "terrorists" who had entered from Algeria, Mr Kacem said, according to official news agency Tap.

Police have announced the arrest of 15 men following the encounter.

Mr Kacem described the men as "Salafist terrorists" - a reference to the Algerian Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, a radical group opposed to Western which aims to create an Islamic state in Algeria.

It is not clear which embassies or diplomats featured in the seized documents.
