The attack is on the security detail of the President it seems.
Yes, it seems that the president is ok and will address the nation shortly.
Looks like about 11 people have been killed. It is so surreal we can follow every terrorist hit around the world in real time.
Be interesting to hear what the President has to say.

Tunisia's President declaring 30-day state of emergency, declares war on terrorism, urges international coalition.
QuoteTunisia's president has declared a state of emergency throughout the country and a curfew in the capital after an attack on a bus carrying his presidential guard that killed 12 people.
Beji Caid Essebsi said in a televised address that the country is at "war against terrorism" and called for international cooperation against extremists who have staged several attacks around the world in recent weeks.
Essebsi said "I want to reassure the Tunisian people that we will vanquish terrorism." He wasn't in the bus when it was attacked Tuesday in the center of the capital.
His office says he is cancelling a trip to Switzerland that had been scheduled for Wednesday.

Well duh. But who? Local trouble? Daesh?
Keep in mind that Tunisia, at least at some point, supplied a large number of ISIS foreign recruits.
Highest % of population? Highest gross number? Can't remember which, but they were/are #1 in something.

Highest number of recruits from a wedge shaped country?

Western imperialism, no doubt.
