TUNIS (Reuters) — One person was killed when police fired bullets during clashes with hardline Salafi Muslims in the Tunisian capital Tunis on Tuesday, a security source said.

“One Salafi was killed after security forces fired when Salafists attacked a police station,” a security source said.

“The security forces fired bullets and teargas … They are pursuing Salafi elements in the neighbourhood of Khaled Ibn Al Waleed in the area of Dawar Hicher,” a resident, who gave his name as Hadi, said.
