Two explosions have just been witnessed in Tunisia with
several people injured after a suspected suicide bomber blew himself close
to the French embassy in the capital city, Tunis.
The first attack was targeted at a police car in Charles de Gaulle street in
downtown Tunis, witnesses told Reuters.
Two police officers and three civilians have been wounded
according to the Interior Ministry. A second was reportedly witnessed at the
headquarters of government anti-terrorist headquarters.
Security forces are currently at the scene and they have
suspended traffic in Habib Bourguiba Street.
The last suicide bombing to hit Tunis was in 2015 when a bus
carrying members of the presidential guard was targeted. Twelve people were
killed and 16 injured, with ISIS later claiming responsibility for the attack.
