Tunis (AFP) – Prime Minister Youssef Chahed on Friday banned the niqab Muslim face covering for women in government offices, citing security concerns after attacks in the North African country.**********
The ban on the niqab, which covers the entire face apart from the eyes, comes at a time of heightened security following a June 27 double suicide bombing in Tunis that left two dead and seven wounded.
