Tunisia Explosion
Earlier today their was an bomb explosive that hit a bus carrying presidental guards in Tunis, Tunisia that kiled at least 12 people.
Where it happened:
The explosion happened at a bus stop where the presidential guard picks up and drops off its staff, which is near the former headquarters of the party of deposed President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.Also roads in the city were already flooded with heavy rain, when the explosion hit. Also it seems as if the bomber might've detonated explosives in the vehicle.
Aftermath of the incident:
Following the incident, according to BBCNews.com they stated how "President Beji Caid Essebsi has declared a 30-day state of emergency and the capital is under curfew."
This incident left Tunisians shocked and also bewildered due to the bombers getting close to cilvilans also especially getting super close to the members of the presidental guards. Where the bombing occured which is the tree-lined Mohamad V Ave. is not only a walking distance of many well-guarded ministeries, but it also close to cinemas, shops and then also cafes.
Also the area was busy when the blast had occurred, with pedestrians and cars heading home. Their has been incidents like these in Tunis earlier this year and they had changed their security to a much more advanced one but just today a bomb had killed several people. Their has been no group that has been found guilty for this incident, it has yet to be determined. It is such a tradegy how all of these bombings keep occuring all within Africa and also the bombing that had tooken place in Paris, France about two weeks ago.
