Gunmen held in Tunis had Swedish passports: police

Two gunmen who fired shots outside the headquarters of Tunisia's PDP opposition party in the center of the capital on Sunday had Swedish passports, Tunisian police said.

A Tunisian policeman showed a Reuters reporter the outside of two Swedish passports taken from the suspects at the scene.

Earlier an opposition party statement said police and military stopped a carload of armed men, who it described as foreigners, after which shots were fired. It said security forces pursued the gunmen into nearby apartment buildings.

The policeman said one Tunisian was also arrested and police were still looking for other gunmen in the apartment buildings. The gunmen were driving two taxis with their weapons hidden inside camera bags, he said.

There was no immediate comment from the Swedish foreign ministry in Stockholm.
