TERRORISM

TUNISIA

Abstract:

The people of the country that uplifted democracy by challenging its autocratic government in 2011, thereby sparking a regional 'Arab Spring' rebellion against dictators, is the same society that has produced more recruits for the Islamic State (ISIS) than any other country. The terror by truck killings in Nice, France, by a Tunisian-born terrorist raises new questions about the rebellious Tunisian personality.
