THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Two Shiite demonstrators were killed in clashes with Bahraini police, sparking calls to step up anti-government protests on Tuesday [sic?] and a walkout from parliament of the main Shiite opposition bloc.
The Islamic National Accord Association which has 18 seats in the 40-member house has "suspended its membership in the Bahraini parliament" according to MP Khalil al-Marzooq.
The decision was taken because of "the deterioration in security and the negative and brutal way in which (the authorities) dealt with the protesters, killing two of them," he said.
Fadel Salman Matrouk was shot dead in front of a hospital on Tuesday where mourners gathered for the funeral of Msheymah Ali who died of his wounds after police dispersed a protest in a village east of Manama on Monday, he said.
The Bahrain interior ministry said that "some of the people participating in the funeral on Tuesday clashed with forces from a security patrol," leading to Matrouk's death.
"An investigation is under way to determine the circumstances surrounding the case," it said. >>> | Tuesday, February 15, 2011
