Tunisia’s interim government placed two advisers of ousted President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali under house arrest as protesters gathered in the capital, Tunis, to call for members of the former regime to be removed from power.
Abdelaziz Ben Dhia and Abdallah Kallel were detained while a third former presidential adviser, Abdelwaheb Abdallah, is still at large, the state-run Agence Tunis Afrique Presse reported, without saying how it obtained the information.
