He said: “I saw at least five corpses on the ground,” adding: “This was not an ordinary explosion.” A few days earlier, the authorities had increased the security level in the capital and deployed security forces in large numbers. Mark Toner, the US state department spokesman speaking in Washington, said the US government was still seeking details on what had happened in Tunis. Toner further added: “We strongly condemn the attack.” Following the explosion, President Beji Caid Essebsi, who was not on the bus at the time, declared a 30-day state of emergency across the country and imposed an overnight curfew for the capital. He convened an emergency meeting of his security council for Wednesday, November 25. Speaking on national television, Essebsi said: “Tunisia is at war against terrorism.” He urged international cooperation against extremists who have killed hundreds around Europe and the middle-east in recent weeks, from Paris to Beirut to a Russian plane shot down over Egypt. “I want to reassure the Tunisian people that we will vanquish terrorism,” he added. Tunisia is the only Arab Spring country to have solidified a new democracy. However, the nation is facing serious economic and security challenges. In June, shootings at a luxury beach hotel in Sousse, left 38 people dead, mostly tourists. Also in March, an attack by Islamist extremists at the famed Bardo museum near the capital killed 22 people. The two acts of terrorism this year have left a great dent in Tunisia’s tourism industry.

Snoop Lion excommunicated from the Rastafari Community, according to Bunny Wailer! Bunny has always had his doubts about Snoop Lion ‘s intent and now his skepticism has taken an even stronger stance, that of excommunication. The news was broken via his Facebook profile and via press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari. Most doubtful is Bunny Wailer the only living member of the original Wailer. ‘ Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it. Some groups use the term disfellowship instead, ‘ stated Bunny’s official release.
