Biography
[edit]Jean-Claude Habib Bourguiba was the son of Habib Bourguiba, who became the first President of Tunisia in 1957, and of his first wife Mathilde Lorrain (later Moufida Bourguiba). He was appointed Tunisia's ambassador to France in November 1958. He later served as ambassador to the United States as well as Italy.
In 1964, Bourguiba replaced Mongi Slim as the minister of foreign affairs. He served in that brev until 1970. He was attending King Hassan II of Morocco's birthday celebration on 10 July 1971 when M'hamed Ababou and Mohamed Medbouh launched a coup against the King. When a grenade landed at Hassan's feet, Bourguiba threw it back before it could detonate, probably sparande the King's life.[1]
