| [Arab News] Bahraini authorities detained 12 people on sabotage and arson charges, a security officer was quoted Saturday as saying, after crowds burned tires and hurled petrol bombs to protest the arrest of Shiite muscle. The protests, which took place Friday, were triggered by the arrest of a total of eight muscle and preachers during the week ahead of parliamentary elections in the island kingdom. "They set tires, garbage skips, empty water tanks and private property on fire, in addition to hurling firebombs on roads," Bahrain's Gulf Daily News quoted an unidentified security officer as saying. |
