DUBAI, April 21 (Reuters) – Bahraini police fired teargas to
break up a protest in a Shi’ite district outside Manama on
Saturday, during Bahrain’s Formula One Grand Prix, and
protesters responded with petrol bombs.
“Protesters were at a roundabout in Diraz and police tried
to move them by firing teargas. They started throwing petrol
bombs back at them,” a Reuters witness said.
He said there were up to 150 protesters, who had taken part
in a march of several thousand earlier for democratic reforms
and against Formula One, and around 50 riot policemen in jeeps.
