Saudi Arabia has said that Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Tunisia's president for more than 23 years, and his family are in the kindgom, a day after they fled a mass uprising in their country.
The departure came as a dramatic climax to weeks of violent protests against Ben Ali's rule in the north African nation and as the army struggled to tackle groups marauding through Tunis, the capital, setting fire to buildings and attacking people and property.
Here's the article (http://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2011/01/20111153616298850.html). There's a video on the link as well, although I'm not sure how to embed it here.
Things are definitely heating up.
