Thirteen dead from unexplained synagogue blast

Jewish men and teenagers held a solemn Sabbath service this morning amid the blackened interior of their historic Tunisian synagogue, two days after a gas-laden truck exploded, killing 13 people, mainly tourists.

The island is the hub of this Muslim North African nation's approximately 2,000-strong Jewish community.

Authorities opened an investigation but have called the blast a "tragic accident."
