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. 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. “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.” 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.
