One protester was shot dead in the central Tunisian town of Menzel Bouzaiene after national guard agents opened fire during violent clashes. The officers opened fire after coming under attack with fire bombs thrown by the crowd. The demonstration was reportedly gripped by tensions over youth joblessness. Several members of the security services also suffered - they got severe burns. "This incident led to one death and two injured among the attackers. Several national guard agents suffered burns, including two who are in a coma," bbc.co.uk quotes a government statement as saying.
