Democratic Movement Party chairman Mohamed Abbou charged that Army Chief of Staff General Rachid Ammar should be sacked for failing to protect the country and taking too long to round up al Qaeda-linked terrorists in the Jebel Chaambi area. Abbou has criticized Ansar al Sharia Tunisia in the past. A member of the Nidaa Tounes party countered that the government is responsible for poor security policies and condoning Salafist violence.
