Tunisia In Turmoil Again

Tunisians take part in an anti-government demonstration on the Habib Bourguiba Avenue in Tunis yesterday after the killing of the opposition politician Mohamed Brahmi. Inset top, Mohamed Brahmi and Chokri Belaid, botom, another Tunisian opposition leader who was killed six months earlier. "The gun used to kill Mohamed Brahmi is the same as that used to kill Chokri Belaid," Tunisian Interior Minister Lotfi Ben Jeddou told during a press briefing. Tunisia marked a day of mourning yesterday after the killing, sparking fresh political turmoil, protests and a general strike which took Tunis to near standstill. Photo: AFP
