The government is investigating the jihadist recruiting networks that send young Tunisians to fight in Syria. Prime Minister Larayedh said the government has already stopped a number of young Tunisians from leaving for “uncalculated adventures.” He criticized Salafist views, and Ansar al Sharia responded with threats. Authorities are also investigating Abou Zeid Ettounsi, a Tunisian Islamist accused of using a TV appearance to call for jihad in Syria.
