Security along the Libyan border has been beefed up after a report that Ansar al Sharia was planning to stage simultaneous terror attacks across the country using suicide bombers trained in Syria and Libya. One rumor said 15,000 terrorists were planning to attack Tunisia from Libya. The Hizb Ettahrir party, a hardline Salafist group that was recognized by the government in July 2012, protested in Tunis, calling for a caliphate. An activist group accused the government of involvement in the assassinations of liberal leaders Chokri Belaid and Mohamed Brahmi.
