I followedthe link int he article - to a Ghanaian news site - claiming Agence FrancePresse sources. Search in AFP site itself shows nothing. A lot of this seems to be from the Tunisians, but no link to an actual Tunisian report.  
I checked BEA-Mer (French equivalent of NTSB/MAIB) and the incident is listed as “enquête technique est ouverte conjointement avec nos homologues chypriotes, tunisiens et italiens.” = technical inquiry is open in conjunctin with our Cypriot,Tunisian. italian colleagues.  
Is there a link to anything official fro Tunisians?
