(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Bahrain King Hamdad Bin Issa al-Khalifa ordered security forces and troops to severely encounter any public gathering all around the country especially in the capital Manama, on the first anniversary of the Shi'a and Sunni uprising - and vowed that those seeking to drive the country into a 'dark tunnel' would not succeed.
According to witnesses Security forces in Bahrain have fired live bullet, tear gas and stun grenades at protesters in the nation's capital ahead of the one-year anniversary of the Gulf kingdom's uprising.
Thousands of peaceful protesters marched through Manama's streets in the largest attempt in months to retake Pearl Square, the central roundabout that served as the epicenter of weeks of protests last year by Bahrain's Shi'ite majority against the ruling dynasty.
Thousands of riot police and other security forces have staked out positions around the square and also across the Gulf island nation to prevent the anti-discrimination people from staging a mass rally in or near the plaza to mark Tuesday's one-year anniversary of the revolt.
