Tunis: The bus bombing that killed at least 12 people in Tunisia's capital was carried out using 10 kilos of explosives in either a vest or a rucksack, the interior ministry said Wednesday.

"The terrorist attack was committed using a backpack or vest containing 10 kilos of explosives," a ministry statement said, without specifying whether the attack on a presidential guard bus was a suicide bombing.
