Tunisian police shoot man trying to attack Interior Ministry
2021-11-27
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

Police in the Tunisian capital shot and wounded a man who tried to storm the Interior Ministry on Friday, local media and witnesses said.

In a post on their official Facebook page, police unions called the man an bad boy and published pictures of a knife and cleaver that they said the man had carried.

A video posted on social media showed coppers shooting and pedestrians running on Habib Bourguiba Street.

Tunisian security forces have thwarted most holy warrior plots in recent years and they have become more efficient at responding to those attacks that do occur, Western diplomats say.

The last major attacks in Tunisia took place in 2015 when Death Eaters killed scores of people in two separate assaults at a museum in Tunis and a beach resort in Sousse.
