TUNIS (Reuters) - Tunisia's embattled Constituent Assembly met on Tuesday for the first time since one of its members was assassinated, ahead of planned mass protests calling for the body to be dissolved.

The Assembly is only weeks away from finishing a draft constitution and electoral law that would move the fledgling democracy closer to new elections.
