Tunisia gripped by political uncertainty after killing
Calm returned Thursday to the streets of the Tunisian capital, Tunis, but the political turmoil triggered a day earlier by the assassination of opposition leader Chokri Belaid continued to roil the nation.
Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali, head of the moderate religious party Ennahda, sacked his Cabinet late Wednesday and called for new elections, leaving himself at the head of a caretaker government.
However, the Ennahda party said Thursday that Jebali's call to dissolve the Cabinet and offer up a new technocratic government is "not binding."
