US condemns 'outrageous' Tunisia assassination

The United States on Thursday condemned the assassination of a leading critic of Tunisia's ruling Islamists, saying violence had no place in the country's transition to democracy.

 

Tunisian MP Mohamed Brahmi was shot dead outside his home Thursday in the second such slaying this year, with fingers again pointed at the authorities. "We offer our sincere condolences to Mr. Brahmi's family, friends and colleagues and to the people of Tunisia," State Department deputy spokesperson Marie Harf said, adding US officials "strongly condemn" the killing.
