There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the explosion, which occurred as the bus travelled on one of Tunis's busiest highways at rush hour and killed at least 12 people, officials said. Mr Essebsi was not near the site of the explosion, authorities said. More than a dozen people were wounded, Tunisian media reported.

Tunisia's Interior Ministry called the explosion a "terrorist act", but authorities did not say whether a bomb was planted on the bus or an explosive was fired at the vehicle. A presidential source told the Reuters news agency that the attack was probably the work of a suicide bomber but did not elaborate.
