Bahraini police dispersed a demonstration in the capital Manama shortly after the launch of a "national dialogue" intended to turn the page on a deadly crackdown on Shiite-led protests, state media said. The demonstrators gathered in the Sanabis neighbourhood of north Manama after the funeral of one of those killed during the February-March protests, the official BNA news agency quoted a police spokesman as saying late on Saturday.

We have repeatedly said that such attacks are counter-productive and only contribute to strengthening the hands of terrorists,” Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir told US Ambassador Cameron Munter while lodging the protest with him. Foreign Office spokesperson Tehmina Janjua, however, emphasised that Mr Munter had not been summoned and h...

Thousands of mostly Shiite protesters occupied Manama's business district, turning the regional banking hub into a ghost town as they pressed their calls for democratic change from the Sunni Muslim The Saudi government said it had responded to a call for help from its neighbour as Saudi-led forces from the Gulf countries' joint Peninsula Shield Force crossed the causeway separating the two countries. "The council of ministers has confirmed that it has answered a request by Bahrain for support," the Saudi government said in a statement carried by the SPA state news agency. It said that under an agreement of the six-country Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), "any harm done to the security of a member state is considered a harm done to the ...
