TUNIS (AFP) - Roughly 100 protesters on Friday threw petrol bombs at the home of a Tunisian TV station boss, after militants called for the station to be closed for airing a film with an image of God, the station said.

"The Nessma TV channel denouces the attacks on the house of its CEO Nabil Karoui by a group of around 100 men who threw Molotov cocktails," a presenter said on air, adding that the family had only just been saved.
