TUNIS, Tunisia — Union officials in three Tunisian towns say at least 11 people have died in clashes with security forces in new rioting in the North African country where unrest is in its fourth week.

The Interior Ministry has confirmed that at least two people died in the western town of Thala. Union official Belgacem Saihi told The Associated Press that up to five people had died there.

In nearby Kasserine, union official Amor Mhamdi said three people were shot to death Saturday night as protesters attacked public buildings.
