Riots Continue In Tunisia



New Clashes In Tunisia As Job Promise Calms Few -- Reuters

TUNIS (Reuters) - Tunisia's anti-riot police fired tear gas in clashes overnight in two western towns, witnesses said on Tuesday, despite a pledge by the president to create 300,000 jobs before the end of 2012.

The Tunisian government on Monday ordered the indefinite closure of all schools and universities in an attempt to stamp out clashes with police which it said killed 14 civilians at the weekend. Amnesty International put the death toll at 23.
