>> australia's prime minister refuses to deny reports that the navy paid people smugglers to return to indonesia. >> but first there are deep concerns for the welfare of ten people taken hostage from tunisia's consulate in libya. all thought to be members. they'll all meet to try to deal with the crisis. it's describing the incident as a blatant attack on tunisian national sovereignty and flagrant violation of international laws. the prime minister said that he's keeping a close eye on the situation. >> we're closely following the kidnapping of some tunisians. a crisis committee has been form and they're trying to look closely into the events. the outcome of the investigation will be announced in due course.

>> al jazeera has this update from tunis. >> well, we understand that the foreign ministry as well as the defense ministry and other important members of the government are holding a crisis meeting to try to work out what to do next. they're very reticent to talk about what group is responsible for the attack or who was in the consulate at the time. we're hearing increasing evidence that this may have a connection to the detention here in tunis to a senior member of the libyan dawn group. now, this man was arrested in tunis in may on charges of kidnapping. at the time in may more than 200 tunisians were held in tripoli used as a bargaining chip.

some are saying there is a connection between what is happening and the continuing detention of this man here in tunis. now tunisia so far is one of the few states in the world to have a relationship with both rival governments in libya. one that is court appointed in tripoli and the internationally recognized one in tobruk. but this brings into question the whole relationship with libya, and i think a lot of questions will be asked now about where or what happens next between libya and tunisia. >> well, the tunisian political analyst told us more about the arrested libyan dawn member. >> men think that he's an intelligence guy inside the libyan dawn coalition, and when he was arrested a month ago dozens of tunisians were kidnap in libya. then they were released after

negotiations with authorities in tripoli. this is the second kidnapping and this one is linked to a decision earlier a few days ago of the tunisian court to keep the group under arrest in tunisia. we've never had this in the history of tunisia, a consulate and then diplomats or consulate agents being kidnaps. we've never had this. this will have severe repercussions and also it will have side affects on against libbance and tunisia. there is already a groaning xenophobia and this will only exacerbate things. they're not going to make the difference between this militia and that militia and this group

and this government. they see only libyans. unfortunately, what happened today in libya is going--is going to backfire against libyans themselves. more than the militias that did the kidnapping. >> and staying in libya there have been more deadly violence in the coastal city. these pictures show the aftermath of strikes of the air force allied to the u.n.-backed government in tobruk. the specific target is unknown but isil is fighting for control there. also on friday, isil fired on protesters with reports of injuries and six members of isil were shot dead with clashes of rival fighters. the remains of iraq's former deputy prime minister have arrived in jordan. the body has been closely guarded after reports that it was snatched on thursday before being loaded on to a royal jordanian airlines flight.

iraq's aviation authority said that the body was delayed by a lack of official documentation. his funeral is expected to take place on saturday. meanwhile, residents of baghdad has told al jazeera that they're living in fear due to constant car bomb explosions. we have reports on the increasingly divided and dangerous life in iraq's capital. >> this is one of the largest neighborhoods and home to a large shia community. it's always been shia, but even here people are now too scared to leave their own neighborhood. >> life in baghdad has become a living nightmare. everywhere you go there are car bombs and suicide attacks. we only leave the neighborhood if there is a life and death matter. it's better to keep the moment in one place only. because includes is security is unpredictable. >> last month two car bombs blew

up at this corner where my grocery stand is located. look at the damage. we don't leave our neighborhood at all. >> across town, sunni muslims were forced out of their homes and now live in just a few neighborhoods. >> we only feel safe in our neighborhood. i personally don't leave here. >> it is not safe to drive through the streets of baghdad any more. unfortunately, after 2003 baghdad split into sunni and shia sections with almost no existence of mixed sections at all. >> those words are echoed by people who study the capital's demographic changes. they noticed that the sunnies have been increasingly marginalized but what is is of concern to one academic academy

ic: the kids, when they open their eyes to the cheating and the killing i think their sub conscience from five to seven in that period, many kids, they are robbed. i think in the future we will face a real problem from those kids. >> there are still mixed neighborhoods across baghdad like this one. but they're normally more economically well off. now, this neighborhood in particular has been hit by several isil car bombs. and the reason they do that is to try to keep up the sectarian tension. but it's not just isil. also the shia groups mark revenge attacks. now many people are worried. it's those two reasons that iraq might see a return of the levels of sectarian violence when this country was nearly plunged into civil war. imran khan, al jazeera, baghdad.
