AT least 11 people were killed and over one 100 injured in tribal clashes in the southern mining town of Metlaoui, some 350km from Tunisian capital, the state-run press agency TAP reported on yesterday evening.
The latest death toll released on the same day put the number of deaths at seven. Some 65 people were also arrested in possession of hunting rifles, knives, and sabers, TAP said.
Following the outbreak of the violence on Wednesday evening, authorities imposed a strict 4pm (1500 GMT) to 6am (0500GMT) curfew over the town.
The clashes between two of the town's main tribal factions were triggered by rumors related to recruitment policies of the Gafsa Phosphates company, the region's biggest employer.
