Bomb blast in Bahrain's Sitra village injures policeman: official

A bomb exploded on Saturday in the Bahraini village of Sitra, east of Manama, causing minor injuries to a policeman, a source from Bahrain's interior ministry said. The source told Reuters that some protesters in Sitra had also clashed with the police using iron rods and Molotov cocktails, but that no further details on casualties were available. Both the UAE and Bahrain are members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, a political and military alliance that also includes Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait. In 2011, Saudi Arabia and UAE sent forces to support Bahrain's rulers and quell pro-democracy demonstrators demanding reforms.
