The demonstrators accused Rachid Ghannouchi of the Islamist Ennahda party of being involved in the "miserable situation" in their country.

Hamadi Jebali, Tunisia(***)s prime minister, has said that he will dissolve the Islamist-led government and form a national unity administration on Wednesday.

Violent clashes between Belaid\(***)s supporters and police along the main Habib Borguiba Avenue were reported.

As the protests intensified, four Tunisian opposition groups, including the Popular Front, of which the Democratic Patriots is a component, announced they were pulling out of the national assembly and called for a general strike.

Belaid had been critical of Tunisia\(***)s leadership, especially the Islamist party Ennahda that dominates the government.

Earlier, crowds of mourners, chanting "the people want the fall of the regime", crowded around an ambulance carrying Belaid\(***)s body.

Angry demonstrators gathered in front of the Tunisian Ministry of Interior at the heart of the Tunisian capital, protesting the assassination of Shokri Belaid, leader of the Democratic Patriots party.

They held Minister of Interior Ali al-Areid responsible for the assassination and called for his immediate resignation, shouting "Leave, leave!"

A protester holds a sign reading, "Today Shokri, who will it be tomorrow?" outside the Tunisian Ministry of Interior in Tunis.

Omar bin Ali, a member of the Trade Union, was present at the demonstration site and told Al Jazeera that the Islamists are responsible. "This is what they have been calling for in mosques," he said.
