{{Security forces in Tunisia have arrested an Islamist suspect in the assassination last year of a prominent opposition politician, Mohamed Brahmi.}}<\/p>\n

The suspect Hmed el-Melki – alias “Somali” – was captured outside Tunis, said an interior ministry spokesman.<\/p>\n

It followed a fierce gunfight at a house in which “a terrorist group had holed up”, said Mohamed Ali Aroui.<\/p>\n

The killing of Mr Brahmi and another opposition leader, Chokri Belaid, plunged Tunisia into political crisis.<\/p>\n

The government was eventually forced to resign.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday another suspect in the killings of both politicians – Kamel Gadhgadhi – was shot dead as special units from the National Guard stormed a house in Tunis.<\/p>\n

Tunisian security forces have fought a long campaign against Islamist militants over the past two years.<\/p>\n
