Insight: Tunisia Islamists seek jihad in Syria with one eye on home

By Patrick Markey and Tarek Amara ZARGHOUAN, Tunisia (Reuters) - Aymen Saadi's brief call to jihad began with dreams of fighting for an Islamic state in Syria and ended with a botched suicide bombing attempt in a crowd of foreign tourists in Tunisia. Guards tackled the Tunisian teenager before he detonated his bomb at a presidential mausoleum last month south of Tunis. Saadi's mission may have failed, and the beach bomber killed only himself, but Tunisia's first suicide attack in a decade was shock enough for the small North African nation; Tunisia's interior's ministry says its initial investigation indicates Al Qaeda-linked group Ansar al-Sharia carried out the attempted twin bombing.
