Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki denounced Wednesday the killing of US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three of his American co-workers in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi as a "terrorist act."
"These dirty acts of terrorism ... are also a terrible blow to Tunisia," he said in broadcast remarks. "The security of Libya is also the security of Tunisia."
The remarks came during a whirlwind visit to Tripoli where he met with the head of Libya's national assembly, Mohammed al-Megaryef, at Mitiga International Airport before returning home, an AFP photographer said.
On Tuesday, a mob angered by a US-made film deemed offensive to Islam attacked the American consulate in Benghazi, killing four American officials and shocking the world.
