| [ZEENEWS.INDIA] Abu Dhabi: An Emirati police officer from a joint Gulf force in Bahrain was among three personnel killed on Monday in a bomb at a Shi'ite village near Manama, the UAE government said. First Lieutenant Tariq al-Shehi died along with two members of the Bahraini police force "while performing his national duty of maintaining order," the United Arab Emirates' Interior Ministry said in a statement carried by WAM state news agency. He is the first Gulf officer to be reported killed since forces from the region rolled into Bahrain in March 2011 to boost the kingdom's security forces, which later quelled a month-long Shi'ite-led uprising. |
