US orders in Tunisia
This has not appeared in the US press. The leading Egyptian daily, Al-Masri Al-Yawm (it is time that journalists STOP referring to Al-Ahram as the "leading Egyptian daily" or to An-Nahar as "the leading Lebanese daily"--you need to update your information) reports that a Tunisian officer stated that the former chief-of-staff of the Tunisian Army had orders from the US government to "take control of the situation."
