Two Tunisian Terrorists Target Tourists.

In the latest episode of the escalating jihadist situation in Tunisia, The country suffered her first suicide bombing yesterday as a terrorist detonated himself in front of a hotel, killing no one but himself. Another tried to do same at a mausoleum but was prevented by guards, as reported by Arab News today:

Bomber hits Tunisia resort TUNIS: A man blew himself up Wednesday in front of a popular seaside hotel as authorities foiled a possibly related assault at the mausoleum of modern Tunisia's secular founder, the Interior Ministry said. The attack was believed to be the country's first suicide bombing. Witnesses told Tunisian media that the suicide bomber appeared to be about to enter the Riadh Palm hotel in Sousse, about 150 km south of the capital, Tunis, when he exploded. The Interior Ministry said that no one else was injured and no property was damaged. It said the bomber was a Tunisian man wearing an explosive belt. The city is being searched for possible accomplices, said ministry spokesman Mohammed Ali Aroui. In the foiled attack on the mausoleum in nearby Monastir, an 18-year-old man followed a group of tourists into the mausoleum of modern Tunisia's founder, Habib Bourguiba, carrying a backpack full of TNT. He attempted to distract security by tossing a firework before being subdued, said Hicham Gharbi, spokesman for the presidential guard, which patrols the site. "He will be questioned to learn his motives and those who ordered the attack," he told local radio. Bourguiba, Tunisia's first post-independence president, was a fierce secularist and has long been hated by hard-liners. While the ministry said both men belonged to the same extremist group, it is not certain that the attacks were coordinated or masterminded by one large organization. A shift in tactics by Tunisia's extremists to the mass targeting of civilians would have serious implications for a country struggling with its democratic transition.

Needless to say the moral implications of targeting innocent civilians doesn't come into it. In Islam non-Muslims are not considered innocent, they are guilty of failing to acknowledge Allah & his apostle & of failing to follow his law, as Anjem Choudary is more than happy to explain:
