<p> <span class="dateline">CAIRO —</span> Gunmen opened fire on visitors at
Tunisia’s most renowned museum on Wednesday, killing at least 19 people,
including 17 foreigners, in an assault that threatened to upset the fragile
stability of a country seen as the lone success of the Arab Spring.</p>
<p>It was the most deadly terrorist attack in the North African nation in
more than a decade. Although no group claimed responsibility, the bloodshed
raised fears that militants linked to the Islamic State were expanding
their operations.</p>
<p>The attackers, clad in military uniforms, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/gunmen-storm-museum-in-tunisia-killing-at-least-8/2015/03/18/00202e76-cd73-11e4-8730-4f473416e759_story.html">stormed the Bardo National Museum</a> on
Wednesday afternoon, seizing and gunning down foreign tourists before security
forces raided the building to end the siege. The museum is a major tourist
draw and is near the heavily guarded national parliament in downtown Tunis.</p>
<p>Tunisian Prime Minister Habib Essid said that in addition to the slain
foreigners — from Italy, Poland, Germany and Spain — a local museum worker
and a security official were killed. Two gunmen died, and three others
may have escaped, officials said. About 50 other people were wounded, according
to local news reports.</p>
<p>“Our nation is in danger,” Essid declared in a televised address Wednesday
evening. He vowed that the country would be “merciless” in defending itself.</p>

</p>
<p>Tunisia, a mostly Muslim nation of about 11 million people, was governed
for decades by autocrats who imposed secularism. Its sun-drenched Mediterranean
beaches drew thousands of bikini-clad tourists, and its governments promoted
education and other rights for women. But the country has grappled with
rising Islamist militancy since a popular uprising overthrew its dictator
four years ago, setting the stage for the Arab Spring revolts across the
region.</p>
<p>Thousands of Tunisians have flocked to join jihadist groups in Syria,
including the Islamic State, making the country one of the major sources
of foreign fighters in the conflict. Tunisian security forces have also
fought increasing gunbattles with jihadists at home.</p>
<p>Despite this, the country has been hailed as a model of democratic transition
as other governments that came to power after the Arab Spring collapsed,
often in bloody confrontations. But the attack Wednesday — on a national
landmark that showcases Tunisia’s rich heritage — could heighten tensions
in a nation that has become deeply divided between pro- and anti-Islamist
political factions.</p>
<p>Many Tunisians accuse the country’s political Islamists, who held power
from 2011 to 2013, of having been slow to respond to the growing danger
of terrorism. Islamist politicians have acknowledged that they did not
realize the threat that would develop when radical Muslims, who had been
repressed under authoritarian regimes, won the freedom to preach freely
in mosques.</p>
<p>In Washington, White House press secretary Josh Earnest <a href="http://hosted2.ap.org/APDEFAULT/cae69a7523db45408eeb2b3a98c0c9c5/Article_2015-03-18-ML--Tunisia-Attack-The%20Latest/id-653822d829b24cef993c5bd6a7ce44b5">condemned the attack </a>and
said the U.S. government was willing to assist Tunisian authorities in
the investigation.</p>

<p>“This attack today is meant to threaten authorities, to frighten tourists
and to negatively affect the economy,” said Lotfi Azzouz, Tunisia country
director for Amnesty International, a London-based rights group.</p>
<p>Tourism is critical to Tunisia’s economy, accounting for 15 percent of
its gross domestic product in 2013, according to the World Travel and Tourism
Council, an industry body. The Bardo museum hosts one of the world’s most
outstanding collections of Roman mosaics and is popular with tourists and
Tunisians alike.</p>
<p channel="wp.com" class="interstitial-link"> <i>[<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2015/03/18/tunisias-bardo-museum-attacked-by-terrorists-is-home-to-amazing-roman-treasures/">Bardo museum houses amazing Roman treasures</a>]</i>
</p>
<p>The attack is “also aimed at the country’s security and stability during
the transition period,” Azzouz said. “And it could have political repercussions
— like the curtailing of human rights, or even less government transparency
if there’s fear of further attacks.”</p>
<p>The attack raised concerns that the government, led by secularists, would
be pressured to stage a wider crackdown on Islamists of all stripes. Lawmakers
are drafting an anti-terrorism bill to give security forces additional
tools to fight militants.</p>

<p>“We must pay attention to what is written” in that law, Azzouz said. “There
is worry the government will use the attack to justify some draconian measures.”</p>
<p>Tunisian Islamists and secular forces have worked together — often reluctantly
— to defuse the country’s political crises in the years since the revolt.</p>
<p>Last fall, Tunisians elected a secular-minded president and parliament
dominated by liberal forces after <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/tunisias-islamists-get-sobering-lesson-in-governing/2014/11/20/b6fc8988-65ad-11e4-ab86-46000e1d0035_story.html">souring on Islamist-led rule</a>.
In 2011, voters had elected a government led by the Ennahda party — a movement
similar to Egypt’s Islamist Muslim Brotherhood. But a political stalemate
developed as the party and others tried to draft the country’s new constitution.
The Islamists failed to improve a slumping economy. And Ennahda came under
fire for what many Tunisians saw as a failure to crack down on Islamist
extremists.</p>

<p>After the collapse of the authoritarian system in 2011, hard-line Muslims
known as Salafists attacked bars and art galleries. Then, in 2012, hundreds
of Islamists <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/in-tunisia-embassy-attack-tests-fledgling-democracy/2012/09/20/19f3986a-0273-11e2-8102-ebee9c66e190_story.html">assaulted the U.S. Embassy </a>in
Tunis, shattering windows and hurling gasoline bombs, after the release
of a crude online video about the prophet Muhammad. <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-23452979"></a>The
government outlawed the group behind the attack — Ansar al-Sharia, an al-Qaeda-linked
organization — and began a crackdown. But the killing <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-23452979">of two leftist politicians</a> in
2013 prompted a fresh political crisis, and Ennahda stepped down, replaced
by a technocratic government.</p>
<p>Tunisia’s <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/monkey-cage/wp/2015/02/03/tunisia-opts-for-an-inclusive-new-government/">current coalition government</a> includes
an Ennahda minister in the cabinet. Still, many leftist figures openly
oppose collaboration with the movement’s leaders.</p>
<p>“Ennahda is responsible for the current deterioration of the situation,
because they were careless with the extremists” while they were in power,
Azzouz said.</p>
<p>The leader of Ennahda, Rachid Ghannouchi, condemned Wednesday’s attack,
saying in a statement that it “will not break our people’s will and will
not undermine our revolution and our democracy.”</p>
<p>Security officials are particularly concerned by the collapse of Libya,
where various armed groups are vying for influence and jihadist militants
have entrenched themselves in major cities. Tunisians worry that extremists
can easily get arms and training in the neighboring country.</p>
<p>In January, Libyan militants loyal to the Islamic State <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/video-shows-purported-beheading-of-egyptian-christians-in-libya/2015/02/15/b8d0f092-b548-11e4-bc30-a4e75503948a_story.html">beheaded 21 Christians</a> —
20 of them Egyptian Copts — along the country’s coast. They later seized
the Libyan city of Sirte.</p>

<p>Officials are worried about the number of Tunisian militants who may have
joined the jihadists in Libya — with the goal of returning home to fight
the Tunis government.</p>
<p>Ajmi Lourimi, a member of Ennahda’s general secretariat, said he believed
the attack would unite Tunisians in the face of terrorism.</p>
<p>“There is a consensus here that this [attack] is alien to our culture,
to our way of life. We want to unify against this danger,” Lourimi said.
He said he did not expect a wider government campaign against Islamists.</p>
<p>“We have nothing to fear,” he said of himself and fellow Ennahda members.
“We believe the Interior Ministry should be trained and equipped to fight
and counter this militancy.”</p>
<p>The last major attack on a civilian target in Tunisia was in 2002, when
al-Qaeda militants killed more than 20 people in a car bombing outside
a synagogue in the city of Djerba.</p>
