A police official said an assailant had tried to enter the embassy but was prevented by police who guarded the diplomatic mission in the Berges du Lac district. Police have cordoned off the debris-ridden site of the blast. Islamic extremists have targeted Tunisia in recent years, killing dozens of people.
