Tunisia declares Ansar al-Sharia a terrorist group Tunisia has designated the hardline Salafist Ansar al-Sharia movement a "terrorist group", blaming it for the killing of two secular politicians. PM Ali Larayedh said he had proof it was behind the killings of Chokri Belaid and Mohamed Brahmi, which plunged Tunisia into political turmoil. "Anyone belonging to it must face judicial consequences," he added. The group, which emerged after the 2011 revolution, seeks the implementation of Islamic Sharia law across Tunisia. Mr Larayedh also said the group was supporting an armed jihadist cell which the Tunisian army has been hunting for months in the remote Mount Chaambi region along the Algerian border. bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-23853241
