Bahrain Youth Killed in Clashes with Police
[AnNahar] A Bahraini youth was killed on Wednesday in festivities with police at a Shiite village near the capital Manama, the main Shiite opposition bloc Al-Wefaq said."Mahmud Mohsen succumbed to his wounds after being hit by buckshot on Wednesday in Sitra," Al-Wefaq said on Twitter. The interior ministry said police had been notified that a dead person was admitted to a clinic in Sitra, and added that an investigation was underway. Witnesses said the festivities broke out in the afternoon during a ceremony to mark the death of a Shiite killed in an kaboom on Friday last week. Bahrain remains deeply divided three years after security forces crushed an Arab Spring-inspired uprising, with persistent protests sparking festivities with police, scores of Shiites tossed in the calaboose Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! on "terror" charges and reconciliation talks deadlocked. Attacks on the security forces have intensified in the Sunni Mohammedan-ruled kingdom, mainly in Shiite-populated villages surrounding the capital. Posted by: trailing wife 2014-05-22 |
