Bahrain mourners attack police after funeral march

Bahraini protesters attacked a police station with petrol bombs on Thursday and riot police responded with teargas and stun grenades after a funeral march for a man killed in clashes during the Gulf Arab states Formula One race last week.Petrol bombs set the police stations wall ablaze and the clashes spilled onto a main highway, holding up traffic for up to an hour, Reuters witnesses said.The clashes, in the Manama neighbourhood of al-Bilad al-Qadeem, took place after thousands of mourners visited the grave of Salah Abbas Habib, 36, who was found dead on Saturday after disappearing during fighting between protesters and police.Bahrain, where the Sunni Muslim Al Khalifa family rules over a majority Shiite population, has been in turmoil since a pro-democracy uprising erupted last year after successful revolts in Egypt and Tunisia.Habib was buried by his family in Shakhura village on Monday, and friends said his body had extensive birdshot wounds inflicted during clashes with police on Friday.The main opposition party Wefaq says Habibs body showed signs of torture, including multiple fractures and birdshot pellets apparently fired at close range. The interior ministry has said it will establish what happened to Habib.Wefaq says his death takes to 81 the number of people killed since the protests began. That figure includes 35 who died during the initial uprising and more than two months of martial law, among them five security personnel.
