Embattled French Foreign Minister Michele Alliot-Marie has announced her resignation after weeks of criticism over her contacts with the former Tunisian regime.

A veteran conservative politician and cabinet minister, she had been in her new job for just three months.

She was heavily criticised for initially offering French help to quell the uprising in Tunisia.
