Riot police storm Bahrain camp
Bahrain riot police firing tear gas and wielding clubs stormed a landmark square occupied by anti-government protesters early today, driving out demonstrators and destroying the makeshift encampment that became the hub for demands to bring sweeping political changes to the kingdom.
The main opposition group Al Wefaq said at least two people were killed in the pre-dawn assault on Pearl Square in the capital Manama, which was littered with flattened tents, trampled banners and broken glass.
