Bahrain policeman hurt in petrol bomb attack<\/strong>

DUBAI: A Bahraini policeman was injured when his patrol was petrol-bombed in a village where Shiites frequently stage protests and clash with security forces, the BNA state news agency said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

It said a policeman “suffered medium burns in several parts of his body when a group of terrorists attacked” his foot patrol in Bani Jamra late on Monday, adding that the assailants threw Molotov cocktails.<\/p>\n

“The injured policeman was rushed to hospital to undergo treatment,” it quoted a police official as saying. “Police have launched an investigation to identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice.”<\/p>\n

The authorities often accuse Shiite protesters in the Gulf kingdom of using petrol bombs against security forces during demonstrations in villages outside the capital Manama.<\/p>\n

Sporadic protests have intensified since a March 2011 crackdown ended month-long protests in Manama’s main Pearl Square demanding democratic reforms in the Sunni-ruled Shiite-majority state.<\/p>\n

On Friday, authorities said an interior ministry bus was attacked by petrol bombs near Bani Jamra, as witnesses reported clashes there between security forces and demonstrators.<\/p>\n

Rights group Amnesty International says 60 people have been killed since the protests first erupted in Bahrain in February last year.<\/p>\n
