Ennahda faces new allegations in Tunisian political murders
A group of dogged lawyers pursuing evidence in the 2013 assassinations of two Tunisian politicians says it has uncovered new information that incriminates the Ennahda party, though Ennahda categorically denies involvement.
TUNIS, Tunisia — Tunisia's main Islamist political party, Ennahda, is denying that information recently brought to light shows it was behind the 2013 assassinations of politicians Chokri Belaid and Mohamed Brahmi.
On Oct. 2, a group investigating the slayings said at a press conference in Tunis that it has voice recordings and new documents proving that members of a secret organization connected with Ennahda were not only involved in the assassinations, but also infiltrated state institutions to steal thousands of related documents from the Tunisian Ministry of Interior.
