Obama tells us the Brotherhood is a "Moderate Political Organisation," that Al-Qaeda is all but dead. Hey Barack, Mohamed Brahmi's family, friends and the nation of Tunisia, could not disagree more. Barracuda Brigade along with millions of Americans send our deepest sympathies to the family, and Tunisia as a nation.
Tunisia is bracing for more riots over the killing of opposition member and secular politician Mohamed Brahmi.
Shops and banks have been closed and all flights cancelled after Tunisia's largest labour organisation called a general strike in protest at the assassination of the prominent opposition figure.
Brahmi, a member of the Arab nationalist Popular Front party, was shot 11 times outside his home in Tunis in front of his wife and children. It was the second political killing of the year.
The former leader of the Popular Front, Chokri Belaid, was gunned down in February, triggering violent protests that led to the resignation of Islamist prime minister Hamadi Jebali.
Brahmi, 58, was an outspoken critic of the Islamist Ennahda ruling coalition and a member of the Constituent Assembly. His family said his funeral would take place on Saturday (27 July) and he would be buried near the tomb of Belaid.
