Tunisia’s Islamist premier Ali Larayedh said Tuesday that Ansar al-Sharia was behind the assassinations of secular opposition leaders Chokri Belaid and Mohamed Brahmi and said the group will now be classified as a terrorist organisation.
 
...Ansar al-Sharia is the most radical Islamist group to emerge in Tunisia since secular autocrat Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali was toppled in 2011. Its attacks have posed a challenge to the authority of the moderate Islamist-led government...
 
 Anybody for "peace negotiations"?

 And don't forget this:


NABLUS (Ma'an) -- Palestinian security forces [???] killed a man in a Nablus-area refugee camp [???] late Tuesday, officials and witnesses said.  Amjad Odeh, 37, died in what Palestinian officials described as an exchange of fire between the security forces and a wanted man in Askar refugee camp...Witnesses told Ma’an that dozens of Palestinians attacked security forces with rocks after the incident.

Wait, doesn' that seem like what happened in Qalandiya the other day?

So, are they going to stop the conciliation talks between Fatah and Hamas?
