Suspected Belaid Killer Named
2013-03-01
[An Nahar] A judicial source with access to the murder file told AFP the suspected assassin was Kamel Gathgathi, from the northwestern Jendouba region, who had lived in America.
Watched too much television while he was here, or one of those who went into shock upon immersion in the West, and turned to extremism in response?
Speaking from Jendouba, Gathgathi's father Taieb confirmed that his son had studied in America and now lived in Tunis, while insisting he was innocent.

"From what I know of my son, I can say he is incapable of hurting a fly," he told private radio station Mosaique FM.

"He is a good type, an angel on earth, but if he has committed a crime then I pray to God that justice is done."

Taieb Gathgathi said his son's studies in America had been paid for by the Tunisian state and that he had subsequently been offered a job at Tunisia's interior ministry, without giving further details.

"I have seen him rarely since I separated from his mother. I've seen him maybe once since he's been in Tunis," Gathgathi added.
