Bahraini Forces Attack Quds Day Demos

Witnesses say Bahraini troops on Friday dispersed demonstrators, who were supporting the Palestinian cause, using force. But there were no immediate reports of casualties.

Despite a government ban, Bahrainis took to the streets on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan to mark al-Quds Day.

Similar anti-Israeli demonstrations were also held in Saudi Arabia, where demonstrators took to the streets overnight in the town of Awamiyah in the kingdom's oil-rich Eastern Province. Saudi protesters chanted death to Israel and America and set their flags on fire.

Meanwhile, in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, an International al-Quds Day conference was held in which the speakers called on Muslims around the world to end all ties with the US. The speakers stated that supporting the US would be the same as supporting the Zionist occupation of Palestine.
