Two Tunisian police were wounded in an exchange of gunfire with presumed Salafists on Thursday in Sidi Bouzid, the cradle of the country’s uprising two years ago, a medical source said.
The shooting took place when police after a chase cornered four armed men in a mosque in the centre of the town, which is a stronghold of the ultra-conservative Muslim group blamed for unrest around the country.
