Two suicide blasts rocked the Tunisian capital on Thursday, with one police officer being killed, and several people suffering injuries.

Iran Press/Africa: The Tunisian Ministry of the Interior said blasts targeted a police patrol, near a police station in the Tunisian capital which wounded several people.

The first blast was caused by a suicide bomber targeting a police patrol on Tunis' central Charles de Gaulle street, not far from the French embassy, Al Jazeera reported.

One police officer killed in the attack.Two other police forces and three civilians were injured, according to the Tunisian Ministry of the Interior. Body parts were strewn in the road around the police car, an AFP news agency correspondent said.

The loud explosion was heard throughout the surrounding neighbourhood.

A second attacker blew himself up shortly afterward near a police station elsewhere in the capital. Four people were injured in that attack.

The incidents, for which there was no immediate claim of responsibility, came four years after scores of people were killed in a spate of attacks claimed by the Daesh terrorist group (also known as ISIS).
