Tunisian opposition leader shot dead

THE leader of a Tunisian opposition party who had been particularly critical of the country's Islamist government has been shot dead.

Chokri Belaid, leader of the leftist Movement of Democratic Patriots, was shot by unknown attackers in the neck and head as he was leaving his Tunis home for work, his wife told Chems FM radio.

Belaid, a lawyer, had been outspoken in his criticism of Tunisia's ruling coalition, which is led by the Islamist party Ennahda.

Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali denounced the murder as an "act of terrorism" against Tunisia.

"This is a criminal act, an act of terrorism not only against Belaid but against the whole of Tunisia," Jebali from the ruling Islamist Ennahda party told FM Radio Mosaique.

He promised to pursue all efforts to "immediately" arrest the murderer.
