Bahraini Molotov man turns into human torch
A Bahraini protester was transformed into a human torch yesterday when bullets fired by riot police hit a Molotov cocktail he was holding and set it ablaze.
He had been among thousands of anti-government demonstrators clashing with police in and around the Gulf islands capital, Manama, on the second anniversary of a Saudi-led military intervention in the Arabic kingdom.
It was unclear yesterday whether the man, protesting in the village of Sanabis, survived.
Yesterdays clashes were among the worst in several weeks, with protesters hurling firebombs and stones at cops. Thirty-five protesters were said to be wounded, three critically.
