Bahraini forces have once again attacked anti-regime protesters in the sheikhdom, killing an elderly woman, according to witnesses.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The woman identified as Salma Abdolmohsen died after regime forces threw tear gas inside her house on Saturday.

The victim is said to have died of suffocation from inhaling toxic gas.

Several people were injured after regime forces fired sound grenades and tear gas at protesters in Sitra and Sinabis on Saturday.

Dozens of people have been killed by regime forces since the Bahraini revolution began in mid-February 2011.

Security forces have also arrested hundreds, including doctors and nurses accusing them of treating injured revolutionaries.

In March, Bahraini government called in Saudi-led forces from neighboring Persian Gulf states to help crackdown on protesters.
