Protestor killed in Oman unrest
Omani security forces fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters demanding political reforms today, killing at least one person in the strategic Gulf country, police officials said.
The clashes mark a significant escalation in two days of protests in Oman, and show that the unrest roiling the Arab world has spread to a second Gulf nation. Bahrain has been engulfed by anti-government protests for weeks.
