Tunisia: a murdered priest, the Islamists attacked a place of prostitution

Insecurity and risk pushing fundamentalist in Tunisia have been illustrated, Friday, February 18, for the murder of a Polish priest found murdered "by extremists," according to the authorities, and an attack on a busy street by prostitutes by Islamists who wanted to burn down a brothel. The priest, aged 34, was found dead slain in a private school in the region Manouba.

It is "a fascist terrorist group with extremist orientations who is behind this crime, given the way he was murdered," said the interior ministry said in a statement without specifying whether this was the Islamists. Marek Rybinski was found murdered in the garage of a private religious school where he was responsible for accounting.

He was assaulted before being murdered, the ministry said cited by the official news agency TAP. This is the first murder of both a religious and a foreigner since the fall of the regime of Ben Ali, January 14. An outbreak of fever had arisen in the Islamic afternoon in Tunis: dozens of Islamists stormed a street where prostitutes work.

"The Islamists have tried to enter the street Abdallaah Guechi to burn," said one policeman Tunisian under cover of anonymity. A major brothels in Tunis is located in the street near the Medina. "Residents have prevented them from returning to this street until the arrival of agents of security forces who blocked the entrance prohibiting passage.

They then managed to disperse the demonstrators," said the policeman . The Islamists had earlier expressed in the inner city, shouting "No to places of prostitution in a Muslim country." Last week, the Tunisian Jewish community had expressed its concern to the government after anti-Semitic incidents at the Great Synagogue of Tunis.

Aware of the prevailing security vacuum after the fall of the regime, the government decided last week to recall reservists retired for five years who joined the army on Wednesday. The government is confronted daily with the instability of many armed robberies, demonstrations of Tunisians desperately claiming welfare and illegal immigration of thousands who sought a job in Europe.
