At least 12 people were killed on Tuesday when an explosion tore through a bus full of Tunisian presidential guards in an attack that one source said was probably the work of a suicide bomber.

Ambulances rushed wounded from the scene and security forces closed off streets around Mohamed V Avenue, one of the main streets in the capital Tunis, where the charred wreckage of the bus lay, not far from the Interior Ministry.

Looks like ISIS is on the move in Tunisia again.

“Religion of Peace”.

“around Mohamed V Avenue”

Hum, guess I will have to add all roads named after Mohamed to those named MLK to avoid at all costs.

[Parley Baer]

Yes, and if I have my geography right Tunisia is right next door to Libya. Another one of Obama’s success stories. NOT

PROBABLY the work of a suicide bomber ???

THIS is the reason people are afraid .... they're inundated with this kind of language constatntly

If studies have been done and policies passed to prevent kids in school from calling a kid that doesn't bathe "stinky" because it might affect him for the rest of his life ...

WHAT ABOUT THE GAZILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT HEAR THIS "NO ONE IS EVER DEFINITELY ACCUSED OR EVEN ASSUMED", KIND OF LANGUAGE ???

Security sources said the guards were boarding the bus to be taken to the presidential palace on the outskirts of the city when it blew up. One presidential source said it was likely that a bomber had detonated his explosive belt inside the bus.

Interesting timing. Waiting until all guards were on the bus seems likely to kill more. Or wait until reaching the palace to get closer to the VIPs. Maybe hoping to cause panic in the city?

He reinstated a month-long state of emergency, temporarily giving the government more executive flexibility, security forces more powers, and restricting some civil rights.

Lots of this seems to be going around.
