Blast outside U.S. Embassy in Tunisia kills policeman
|
 TUNIS (Reuters) - Two militants on a motorbike blew themselves up outside the U.S. Embassy in Tunisia on Friday, killing a policeman and wounding several in the North African country’s most serious attack in months.
The explosion took place near the embassy’s main gate, where a Reuters journalist saw a scorched, damaged motorbike and a damaged police vehicle lying amid debris as police gathered around and a helicopter whirled overhead.
No group immediately claimed responsibility.
The Interior Ministry said two militants were killed carrying out the attack and five police were wounded, while a civilian suffered minor injuries. State news agency TAP reported that one policeman was killed.
"We heard a very powerful explosion ... we saw the remains of the terrorist lying on the ground after he went on the motorbike toward the police," said Amira, a shopkeeper.
