Saudi Arabia Sends More Tanks, Arms to Bahrain

Saudi Arabia has sent more tanks and weapons for its troops in Bahrain during the Formula One Grand Prix auto race in Manama. Bahrani activists said on Sunday that the tanks were sent by heavy military transport vehicles, which crossed the main bridge that links the two neighboring countries. Meanwhile, Saudi-backed Bahraini security forces clashed with pro-democracy protesters, who held demonstrations on Sunday across the country against the Grand Prix race. The violence erupted when police attacked protesters blocking roads in Manama. The protesters burnt tires on roads in villages outside Manama, according to witnesses. Protests have increased in Bahrain as the Manama regime prepares to host the controversial sporting event. On Saturday, police fired tear gas at anti-regime demonstrators calling for the cancelation of the sporting event.
