| Police Car Attacked by Masked Men in Bahrain Village |
| 2009-03-02 |
| A police patrol car was completely destroyed after it was attacked by about 40 masked men in a village in Bahrain on Friday. A Ministry of Interior spokesperson said in a statement that the attackers who were in fully black clothes could not kill policemen inside the car who managed to escape unhurt. "The vehicle was on its usual patrol at around 9.30pm near Deraz village, when unidentified men attacked it with Molotov cocktail and pelted it with stones," he said. The spokesperson pointed out that investigations into the incident have been launched to identify attackers and bring them to justice. The attack is the third in a series of assaults targeting police patrols since the beginning of clashes between rioters and security forces on December 2007. In one of such attacks, a 27-year-old Pakistani policeman died. |

| #4 I believe that I have read comments to that effect on some blogs from the area. Police & security forces (not necessarily the same thing) have many foreigners within the ranks... |

| #3 Do the police have NO weapons, and bulletproof cars? I'd have potted a few anyway. "How", you say? Simple, roll down the window about .30 caliber's worth, shoot through the crack, roll it back up when through. |

| #2 Um, Pakistani policeman? Do I take that to mean that they're outsourcing their police force to immigrants in Bahrain now? |
