People run away from tear gas during a demonstration against the deployment of 11,000 police and soldiers in the city of Kairouan, Tunisia, to prevent the ultraconservative Muslim group Ansar al-Shariah from holding its annual conference, Sunday May 19, 2013. A massive Tunisian security presence has surrounded the country’s main religious center of Kairouan and prevented hardline Muslims from holding their annual gathering. Some 11,000 police surrounded the city this weekend and patrolled inside to prevent the conference from taking place because “of the threat it represented to security and public order.” (AP Photo/ Amine Landoulsi)

FILE - In this Monday, Sept. 17, 2012 file photo, Tunisian Salafi Muslims stage a protest outside the El Fateh mosque in Tunis, surrounded by police, in support of a hardline Muslim, known as Abu Yadh. Tunisia is taking a harder line on preaching by ultraconservative Muslim groups, a crackdown that has sparked demonstrations by rock-throwing protesters and ominous warnings of terrorist attacks to come. As it struggles to hunt down al-Qaida linked terrorists in its frontiers, the government has also been trying to rein in salafis emboldened by the fall of the country's repressive dictatorship two years ago.
