The newspaper reports an attack on two Italian tourists last Wednesday in Zarzis, a coastal city located southeast of Tunisia and two Spanish girls a few days ago in Nabeul, and the killing of a Belgian in a studio in Hammamet
All the ingredients are there to prove that Tunisia may return to Salafist violence, Liberte remarks. On Saturday, suspected Salafists attacked a police station in northern Tunisia, while others have prevented at a theatre in the centre of the country. At Siliana on Friday night, a dozen Salafists chased a man who, they said, had "insulted God" before he took refuge in a police station. One of the officers who witnessed the incident and preferred to remain anonymous said : "They attacked the station which was partly burned. We asked for reinforcements, the army came, and Salafists threw stones at them and ransacked a car. Three Salafists were arrested, "said the policeman.
