Summary Attacks on security forces have risen in recent months
DUBAI (AFP) - Three policemen were injured, one seriously, in clashes with petrol-bomb-throwing "terrorists" in the Bahraini capital Manama on Saturday, police said.
A communique published by the BNA state news agency said the officers had been trying to reopen a road blocked by burning tyres in the mainly Shiite district of Al-Makharqah.
Attacks on security forces in the Sunni-ruled but Shiite-majority Gulf kingdom have risen in recent months.
Bahrain has been wracked by unrest since security forces crushed Shiite-led protests for a parliamentary government and a constitutional monarchy in 2011.
