Tunisia is to form a non-partisan government of technocrats to run the country until elections can be held, the prime minister has said.
Hamadi Jebali made the announcement at the end of a day that saw a leading opposition figure killed and protests break out in several major cities.
Anti-Islamist politician Chokri Belaid was shot in the head and neck in Tunis.
His killing was the first political assassination since the Arab Spring uprising of January 2011.
He was shot dead at close range as he left for work by a gunmen who fled on the back of a motorcycle.
Announcing the new government in a nationally televised address, Mr Jebali said he had decided to form a government of “competent nationals without political affiliation”.
The new ministers would have a mandate “limited to managing the affairs of the country until elections are held in the shortest possible time,” he added.
