<And I would be interested if Jochen could give us a read on how the Germans are handling the murder of 10 of their citizens in Tunisia last week.>

According to the German Federal Secretary of the Interior Mr. Schily the blast is probably a terrorist attack. He announced that the German government would prosecute the perpetrators by all legal means. Today German security forces have arrested a man who is thought to be a contact person for the terrorists.

KARSRUHE, Germany (Reuters) - German authorities have arrested a man for alleged involvement in last week's explosion at a synagogue in Tunisia that killed 16 people, the federal prosecutors office said Tuesday.

The man, who was not named, is believed to have had contact with an attacker based in Tunisia shortly before the explosion which killed 10 Germans on the island of Djerba last Thursday.

German authorities believe the explosion was a deliberate attack rather than an accident as Tunisian authorities insist.
