Tunisia gets third leader in 24 hours


The leader of Tunisia's lower house of parliament is temporarily taking charge of the country after the president fled the nation following weeks of protests.

The prime minister, Mohamed Ghannouchi, said yesterday he was taking over as the temporary ruler because the incumbent, Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali, was temporarily unable to fulfil his duties.
