Tear gas fired at Bahrain protesters
Bahrain’s crown prince offered the mainly Shi’ite opposition assurances that national dialogue would address their demands, hours after the protesters built barricades across the highway leading to Bahrain Financial Harbour.
“Investment in Bahrain is for everyone not just one person,” said Ali, a protester at the Financial Harbour which has become a symbol of what protesters say are royal excesses. “That’s why we have problems. It’s not about Sunnis and Shi’ites.”
