The riots also came as Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi announced a major ministerial reshuffle Saturday.
Arab media broadcast amateur video of crowds of young men setting fires and looting banks and private businesses in a second day of violence in a number of Tunisian cities. The Interior Ministry reported that 242 people were arrested in the wake of the violence.
