Revolts in Tunis
Tunisian police fired warning shots and tear gas on Thursday to disperse protesters who attacked provincial government headquarters in the town where the country's revolution was born, an AFP correspondent witnessed.
Dozens of people, angry over their living conditions, converged on the building in Sidi Bouzid and set fire to a tyre, which they threw inside.
Police responded with warning shots and tear gas, as demonstrators shouted "Ben Ali's police are back," in reference to the long-time dictator driven from office last year by a popular revolt.
