| 2013-03-04 |
| [An Nahar] Angry residents of a town in northern Tunisia hurled stones at the car of visiting Islamist leader Rached Ghannouchi on Sunday, a security source said. At the sight of Ghannouchi, several dozen people in Thala shouted "Get out!" -- one of the rallying cries of the revolution that toppled the regime of former dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in 2011. The chief of Tunisia's ruling Ennahda party quickly got back in his car, which some protesters then pelted with stones, breaking the rear window, the same source said. |
