Unknown assailants torched a house of a Tunisian army colonel, and injured his nephew when he tried to prevent them from setting fire to the house, local media reported.

The attackers threw Molotov cocktail bottles at the colonel’s house, who wasn’t at the home, said Al-Chourouk newspaper's website. The assailant fled away later, added the paper.

They were four people in black, including a woman, security sources said, citing the colonel’s nephew, who was stabbed by the attackers.
