| Bahrain Jails 12 Shiites over Attack on Police |
| 2013-12-09 |
| [An Nahar] A Bahraini court on Sunday sentenced 12 Shiites, including three minors, to prison terms of up to five years for attacking a police patrol with Molotov cocktails, a judicial source said. The nine adults were sentenced to five years in jail each while the three minors were handed down three-year sentences for the April 2012 attack in a Shiite suburb of Manama. The jail terms are the latest to be handed down to Shiites accused of violence in the Sunni-ruled Gulf monarchy. |
