Tunis, Tunisia – Tunisian authorities say a suspected religious extremist blew himself up while making a bomb in a home he was renting near the capital.

In a statement on Saturday, Tunisia’s interior ministry says anti-terrorist police are still working to identify the man. His pregnant wife was seriously wounded in the Friday blast, which took place in Jedaida, about 20 kilometres from Tunis.

Separately, the interior ministry says an “extremist” was arrested on Friday after he blew off his hand while handling explosives in Menzel Bourguiba, 43 miles from Tunis.
