Pipeline Seizure Escalates Tunisian-French Clash at Bizerte
In Bizerte and surrounding areas French paratroops, tanks and rocket planes clashed with Tunisian troops and civilian volunteers after President Bourguiba ordered seizure of the Skhira pipeline carrying Sahara oil. Tunisian forces, 40 miles from Tunis, held the city as volunteers, including youths in red Neo-Destour shirts, aided defense efforts. Other clashes were reported in the Sahara and in the UN context as regional players offered support.
