Tunisia’s Ansar al-Sharia, which clashed with police today after its spokesman was arrested, is an illegal organization with terrorist ties and must comply with the law or cease to exist, the country’s prime minister said.

“We will deal with this organization with total seriousness but in accordance with the law,” Ali Laraydeh said in an interview in Doha, Qatar. “This organization exists but isn’t legal. It must either follow the law or end its existence.”
