A teenage boy has died after being hit by a tear-gas canister fired by Bahraini security forces trying to disperse a protest, activists say.

Ali Jawad Ahmed, 14, was among a small crowd who had gathered overnight in the village of Sitra, said the Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights.

The group said security forces personnel had used "excessive force".

A police official told the state news agency that the incident was being investigated but gave no other details.

4. How do the Saudis plan to subdue any new protests in

Bahrain? This could become ugly in a hurry.

3. Hypocrisy at its most blatant.

Everything we accuse "tyrants" of are the same thing our "allies" do to their people.


Mmmmm, smell the steaming pile of bullshit.
