Tunisia's Islamist party is denouncing a deadly attack on the country's presidential guard and urging Tunisians to unite behind the security forces as they hunt for the perpetrators.

The Ennahda party said in a statement that "Tunisia is targeted because it is a democracy and represents a model of moderate Islam." No one has claimed responsibility for Tuesday's attack, though Tunisia has been hit by two big attacks by Islamic extremists this year.

It called on all Tunisians to unite, saying "in these historic moments we should renew our trust in the security forces and army."

The party won legislative elections after Tunisia's Arab Spring uprisings but struggled with violence and instability. It is no longer the governing party but remains a prominent political force.
