The ruling Islamist Ennahda party dissolved the government after prominent opposition leader Chokri Belaid was assassinated near his home and Ennahda offices were set on fire by protesters accusing the party of involvement in the assassination. A judge barred the broadcasting of an interview with Ansar al Sharia leader Abu Iyadh (a.k.a. Saif Allah bin Hussein), who allegedly organized the September 2012 attack on the US Embassy. Security forces are on heightened alert following reports that al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb sleeper cells could be activated for attacks.
