Bahrain Hit by Shiite Riots
[AFP] Bahrain has been hit by rioting in majority Shiite areas for a fifth consecutive day in demonstrations that have seen the death of one protester, press reports said on Sunday. Security forces have fired teargas and rubber bullets in Shiite villages in disturbances that erupted following the death on Monday of a young protester after a demonstration organized by the opposition. Monday's protest was staged by Shiites - the majority in the small Sunni Muslim-ruled Gulf monarchy - seeking compensation for what they said were human rights violations between 1980 and 1990.
