Tunis—Tunisian jihadist groups, taking advantage of a political crisis after last week's assassination of a vocal critic of the Islamist-led government, have set up patrols to police towns and keep the peace, witnesses said.
Wearing orange vests and armed with clubs, the militants patrol by night on foot, motorcycles or by car "to protect people and property," the jihadist Ansar al-Sharia group said on its official Facebook page.
