Tunisian opposition politician shot dead in Tunis

Tunisian opposition politician Mohamed Brahmi has been shot dead outside his house in the capital Tunis.

Mr Brahmi, who was in the nationalist and secular Popular Party, was a vocal critic of the Islamist-led government.

He was also a member of the Constituent Assembly charged with drawing up the country's new constitution.

Thousands gathered in front of the Interior Ministry building to protest at the killing.

"He was shot in front of his house when he was with his disabled daughter," said Mohamed Nabki, a member of the same party. "The killers fled on a motorbike."

Tomorrow will be a day of mourning in Tunisia in a show of respect for Mr Brahmi.

The February assassination of another secular politician, Chokri Belaid, ignited the worst violence in Tunisia since the 2011 fall of autocratic President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.
