Quote

(Reuters) - Tunisian opposition member Mohamed Brahmi was shot dead in the capital Tunis on Thursday, a political source and local radio said.

Brahmi was a member of the nationalist and secular Popular Party. Around six months ago the assassination of another secular politician, Chokri Belaid, led to protests across the country.

(Changes party name in second paragraph)

Too short to excerpt. More expected later.
