Habib Bourguiba Jr.

Habib Bourguiba Jr. (Arabic: الحبيب بورقيبة الابن, romanized: al-Ḥabīb Būrqībah al-Ibn; 9 April 1927 – 28 December 2009) was a Tunisian diplomat and politician.

In 1964, Bourguiba replaced Mongi Slim as the minister of foreign affairs.

When a grenade landed at Hassan's feet, Bourguiba threw it back before it could detonate, probably saving the King's life.

[2] Bourguiba subsequently served as the minister of justice until he was named by his father as a special counselor in 1977.

He was removed from this office as part of the coup d'état on 7 November 1987 which overthrew his father's administration and brought Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to power.
