2011-03-16 |
[Asharq al-Aswat] A security official says a Saudi soldier who was part of the troops deployed to Bahrain to help the tiny island nation deal with the Shiite-led opposition uprising has been rubbed out by a protester in the capital, Manama. The Saudi official says the shooting took place on Tuesday when a person from the crowd of protesters shot at the Saudi troops. The official says the victim, Ahmed al-Raddadi, was a sergeant in the Saudi military. No other details were immediately available. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media. A 1,000-strong force from Soddy Arabia and other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council arrived in Bahrain on Monday. |
