The British Embassy and British Council closed
The British Embassy and the British Council were closed today (like on Monday) and in addition many of the other schools were closed,actually they had taken their decision before the British Council. It seems that the only school which hadn't decided to close was the Italian School.
This morning there at least 6 police vans near the promenade,later on they with also a fire engine were stationed outside the French Ambassador's residence in La Marsa.
For a few hours in the afternoon the main road had been closed.
The Tunisian government had stepped up security in view of last week's incident at the American Embassy and the American School.On Wednesday a French satirical magazine further inflamed the situation by publishing cartoons mocking the Islamic faith! Crazy!
Yesterday the Tunisian government,without prior consultation with the British Embassy and other embassies had stationed a military truck and placed barbed wire in front of the British Council,and apparently the same thing had been done at the other schools.

American Embassy and American School in Tunis Attacked!
On the 4th day of protests against the anti-Islamist film there have been copy-cat protests in many Muslim countries since the protests in Libya and yesterday they reached Tunisia,today the American Embassy and American School in Tunis were attacked,the Embassy set ablaze and the American School ransacked.Later on the BBC News it was reported that three people had been killed in clashes at the American Embassy.go here for more news
The protests had kicked off four days ago in Libya,where four Americans had been killed in an attack on the American Embassy in Benghazi.
In Sudan even the German and British Embassies were attacked. Senseless! The protestors are not content with attacking American establishments! Apparently the people who made the film are not Americans but Eygptians.What will the protestors do when they realise it wasn't Americans who made the film! Maybe no change!
The attacks are without an agenda,what do these protestors want to achieve?
I first heard of the attacks while at work.As a result of the attacks it was decided to finish work early,especially as there was talk of yet another curfew.
What an introduction to Tunisia for the new teachers!
