No victory over terrorism without nat'l unity - Tunisian Pres.

TUNIS, Nov 30 (KUNA) -- Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi stated that a complete victory over terrorism can not be achieved without a real unity among Tunisian people of different hues.
In a televised speech to the nation Sunday night a few days after the bloody terror attack on a presidential guard bus which left 12 servicemen dead, Essebsi said that the plotters of such an assault aim to undermine the state.
He underlined that the state would not allow their malicious schemes to prove successful.
The security agencies have started a series of preemptive crackdown campaign against terrorist groups and their sympathizers.
Essebsi, however, laid it bare that national unity, social security, and support to the state leaders are essential for the successes on the war on terror. (end) ksj.ibi
