Tunisian newspaper Al Chourouk published Friday the details of what it said was a plot to assassinate the Tunisian president, Kais Saied, by using poison.
The newspaper said that a businessman offered 20,000 Tunisian dinars as a bribe to a bakery worker who supplies the Presidency with bread, in order to carry out this scheme.
The worker revealed to the security units a complete scheme that a businessman tried to drag him into to assassinate the President, Saied.
The Tunisian paper's report added that a young businessman had bribed a bakery worker from whom the Presidency buys bread and refreshments, adding that "The worker was bribed with an amount of 20 thousand dinars in exchange for putting poison inside the special dough ordered by the Presidency.
According to the newspaper, the anti-crime squad took over the file, indicating that politicians might be involved in this scheme.
After assuming power last October, Saied entered into a direct political battle with the Islamic and Brotherhood currents, as Ennahda movement waged a smear campaign against him.
Saied does not hesitate in every media occasion to criticize the head of the Ennahda Brotherhood Movement, Rached Ghannouchi.

Saied had revealed in an interview with the military units last July that there are dangerous plans threatening Tunisian security, and that some political parties are working to sow discord in Tunisia.
The 62-year-old president is professor of constitutional law at the University of Tunis. He won the presidential elections on 13 October with more than 70 percent of the vote, and he still garners popular approval of about 65 percent in the country's latest opinion polls.
