Mejdoub pointed out that the authorities will soon move to the litigation stage after the investigations have significantly progressed and “ended in learning all the assassination phases”.

The Al-Alam news channel reported the Tunisian interior minister as saying that the plan to assassinate Al-Zawari took place outside of the country through a very complex process and in several phases.

The Tunisian interior ministry announced the arrest of eight suspects, including a woman who was stopped in Carthage International Airport.

A security official said the woman posed as a reporter who had interviewed Al-Zawari accompanied by another journalist and cameraman and that both were Tunisians.

The Tunisian government said that investigations proved the involvement of foreign elements in Al-Zawari’s assassination without specifying their nationalities.
