Tunisia: Jihadists leave home to fight in Syria


Syria - In Tunisia, streams of young men are leaving to fight in
Syria's civil war. What are their motives and what do their families think of them? Next, with Islamist politics burgeoning in the wake of the Tunisian revolution, the bikini is becoming a rarer sight on the nation's tourist beaches. We report on the rise of the veil by the seaside. Finally, we head to Morocco to profile the group that is risking jail by publicly breaking the Ramadan fast.
It's hard to evaluate exactly how many young Tunisians leave home each week. Their destination is Syria. They're on a crusade to fight Bashar Al Assad. Many are killed in combat or taken prisoner. Some have been gone weeks, others havent been in contact with their familes for months. Our correspondants met some of the family memebers and friends of young Tunisian Jihadists who have left home to fight in Syria.
