MOI stages bombing against bought Police Force MOI considers expendable

editor: There was a similar blast tot he one that occurred today last December and it was met with great skepticism and dismissed by the media and most foreign governments alike. The MOI police at this hour have attacked several Villages in force in a riotous manner. While this is not uncommon the scale and intensity of the violence from the MOI Police is exceptional. This may well be the pretext of a agitation of violence against the villages in preparation for the announcement of the death of Abdulhadi al-Khawaja. This would help justify a more intense military style crackdown similar or even more intense during the Saudi invasion of Bahrain last year. Saudi Forces have not yet been reported on the causeway. The International media should keep in mind the treachery and deceit of the al Khalifa regime. Additional the al Khalifa have hired the best of the experts in “dirty tricks” and public relations propaganda. All of this is against the backdrop of the regimes cruel detention of politicals and the “freedom or death” hunger striker Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, who’s condition is unknown at this hour. This coupled with the apparent collapse of F1 team support for King Hamad’s point of pride, the Bahrain F1 is a recipe for disaster.

It is plain and likely that the current invasion of the villages that the MOI thugs will plant evidence, find suspects and engage in wide spread torture of individuals they intend to use patsies for what is likely a MOI staged blast. In these latest developments, it is clearly the al Kahfia regime and the opposition have enter into a new and extremely dangerous phase of conflict. In the meantime the US Department of State has public called for a “humanitarian solution” for Abdulhadi al-Khawaja. Their timing is peculiar. Here until now, the DOS has given no indication or public call for AlKhawaja’s release and it is inopportune that their public announcement of support coincides with the increasing rumors and expectation of AlKhawaja’s death. Giving the US pattern of support for the regime and relative indifference toward the plight of Bahrain democracy seeking opposition, it is increasingly difficult to understand the conflict in Bahrain as anything but US backed campaign of cynical belligerence and active participation in a Saudi directed apartheid and systematic assault against Bahrain’s Shiite. The Department of State must give a through accounting of it actions or lack there of and take a firm and intolerant position against the al Khlaifa regime or it will stand totally discredited at this point. In defense of the Depart of State, they were apparently asleep at the switch when Egypt ushered in the so called “Arab Spring”, it may well be they are simply inept. In either case, their credibility as advocates of “human rights” and “democracy” is evaporating.

While we hope the USG is inept in this instance, there is a far more ominous question of motive that must be asked; Is the USG deliberately agitating the situation in Bahrain for some extraneous goal? Perhaps to destabilize the Gulf as a provocative move to engage the GCC and Iran? Which would ultimately justify a US military response to Iran. Whether by design or by or USG ineptitude, the situation seems to be shaping up for such a confrontation. Perhaps not, but once again the situation demands the Department of State act responsibly and take a clear and unambiguous position in condemnation of the brutality of the al Kahlifa regime and to effect immediate and tangible actions to stop the reign of brutality. This will send a meaningful and necessary message of support to those who seek a free and democratic Bahrain and feel abandon by the hope from President Obama they have been counting upon . Phlipn.

Bahrain: Blast Injures 7 Police Officers During Protest
By REUTERS – 9 April, 2012 – NYT

Seven police officers were wounded when a bomb exploded on Monday as protesters near the capital called for the release of an activist on a two-month hunger strike, an Interior Ministry spokesman said. Protesters threw explosive devices at police officers to lure them into a village outside the capital, Manama, before the explosion was set off, the spokesman said. Bahrain has ruled out sending the jailed activist, Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, left, who is also a Danish citizen, to Denmark for medical treatment despite a request from the Danish government to do so. On Monday, Secretary General Ban Ki-moon of the United Nations urged Bahrain to reconsider. Daily protests to demand his freedom have been taking place across Bahrain, which crushed protests, mainly by the country’s Shiite Muslim majority, against the Sunni royal family last year. …more
