Attacker Stabs 2 Tunisian Police Officers

by VOA News

   Tunisian police on Wednesday arrested a suspected Islamist militant who
   stabbed two officers in front of the parliament building in Tunis.

   The interior ministry said the attacker was known to authorities, and
   that after the stabbing he said he considered the police to be
   "tyrants."

   One of the victims had a neck wound and was taken to the hospital and
   admitted to the intensive care unit.

   Tunisia has boosted security at strategic sites after other deadly
   attacks in recent years, including one against presidential guards in
   Tunis and another targeting tourists in Sousse.
