Scotland Yard officers sent to Bahrain to spy and suppress

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - A group of Scotland Yard police officers have been dispatched to Bahrain to conduct espionage operations and assist the Saudi-backed forces in quelling anti-regime protests, a Bahraini political activist says.The deployment of Scotland Yard forces in Bahrain is positive proof of Britain’s relentless efforts to continue its presence in the Persian Gulf island nation, Ali al-Faez told the Al-Alam news network.Referring to the existence of a “situation room,” comprised of several countries, in Bahrain, he said that the United States and Britain want to stay on Bahrain’s soil and that’s why they have dispatched a large group of their officers to the country so that they can monitor the developments closely.”The activist reiterated that the American and British forces have been stationed in the country to crack down on the protesters and their revolution.Scores of people have been killed and thousands more put behind bars since the beginning in February 2011 of the popular anti-regime revolution in the sheikdom.The protesters demand the formation of a democratically-elected government that would represent the will of the nation.Demonstrators hold King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa responsible for deaths of protesters during the uprising. /129
