Bahrain opposition leader to face prosecutor
Bahrain is home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.
MANAMA (AP) Bahrain s main opposition group says its leader has been called to the state prosecutor s office over an exhibition that showed alleged abuses against anti-government protesters in the Gulf nation.
It s unclear whether Ali Salman, the head of the Shiite bloc Al Wefaq, could face arrest on Sunday. Such a move could boost tensions sharply and open wider clashes between Shiite-led protesters and Bahrain s Western-backed Sunni rulers.
Riot police last week raided the museum-style hall opened by Al Wefaq that included depictions of alleged torture and heavy-handed tactics against protesters during 32 months of unrest. Authorities said the displays incited "hatred."
Al Wefaq said Saturday that Salman was ordered to the prosecutor s office, but gave no other details.
