Attacker blows self up near U.S. embassy in Tunis: local radio
TUNIS - Two militants on a motorbike blew themselves up outside the U.S. Embassy in Tunisia on Friday, killing a policeman and injuring several others in the country’s most serious attack in months.
The Interior Ministry said two militants were killed carrying out the attack and five police officers were injured, while a civilian suffered minor injuries. State news agency TAP reported that one policeman was killed. Roads around security installations were closed in some parts of the capital and some international institutions were put on lockdown or evacuated.
Tunisia’s critical tourism sector is highly vulnerable to militant incidents and was devastated after two attacks in 2015 which killed scores of visitors at a beach resort and a museum.
