Tunisian protesters demand old guard quit

Not satisfied with his pledge to quit once free elections can be held, hundreds surged past a half-hearted police cordon at the office of Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi. One banner read: "No place for men of tyranny in a unity government."
Ghannouchi, who stayed on to head a would-be unity coalition after strongman Zine Al-Abidine Ben Ali fled a week ago, made an emotional late-night plea for patience on television on Friday. He portrayed himself as a fellow victim and pledged to end his political career as soon as he could organize elections.
But as he met Cabinet colleagues on Saturday, thousands — including many policemen — took to the streets of Tunis and other towns to push the momentum of the "Jasmine Revolution" and to reject what many deride as Ghannouchi's token attempt to co-opt a handful of little-known dissidents into his government.
Meanwhile, a government official in Ottawa said Saturday relatives of Ben Ali have arrived in Canada. One of Ben Ali's many brothers-in-law arrived in Montreal Friday morning aboard a private jet accompanied by his wife, their children and a governess, the official said.
Ben Ali's wife Leila Trabelsi has several brothers but the official did not specify which one had arrived in Canada.
