Tunisian parliament bloc proposes Islamic constitution

The third-largest party in Tunisia's constituent assembly, charged with writing a new constitution, proposed on Monday a draft document based on Islamic law which will likely alarm the country's secularists.

 

The moderate Islamist Ennahda party won a 40% share in the assembly, or 89 seats, in Tunisia's first election since the ouster of Zine al-Abdine Ben Ali a year ago sparked the Arab Spring uprisings across the region. (AP)
