New violence in Tunisian capital; 4 dead overnight
None
Rioters hurled stones at trams and government buildings in Tunisia's capital on Thursday in defiance of increasingly tough government attempts to quash more than three weeks of rioting by youths angry about joblessness.
Overnight, police opened fire and killed four people who defied a government curfew in several towns, opposition members said, driving up a death toll already in the dozens. Looters in the Bizerte region raided a supermarket, pharmacy, clothing shops and a bookstore amid chaos, said union leader and human rights advocate Souad Ghousami, a member of the opposition PDP party.
