Vivienne Walt, Time: Tunisia Bloodshed Threatens to Undo Nation’s Progress

Attack that killed at least 20 foreigners could throw the nascent democracy into turmoil.

In the worst attack on foreigners since the Arab revolutions erupted four years ago, at least 20 tourists were killed in Tunisia on Wednesday along with two of the country’s citizens, when gunmen stormed the country’s most important museum.

The attack, for which no group has yet taken responsibility, raises the prospect that the terrorist attacks that have become increasingly common elsewhere in the region could destabilize the sole democracy to emerge from the Arab Spring.
