News:Ousted Tunisian leader Ben Ali's family 'arrested'

Some 33 members of ousted Tunisian President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali's family have been held, state TV says.
It said that they were arrested as they tried to leave the country.
In a televised speech, interim leader Fouad Mebazaa vowed a "total break" with the past, an independent justice system and media freedoms.
In a separate development, the new government said it had freed all political prisoners. The reported move comes after weeks of mass protests.
More than 100 people have reportedly died in the unrest, the UN said, promising to carry out an investigation. more here
