DUBAI, United
Arab Emirates (AP) — Witnesses say opposition supporters in Bahrain have
clashed with police for a third straight day along a main highway west
of the capital.
Police used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse
thousands of protesters gathered Saturday along Budaiya highway, which
connects a string of largely Shiite villages west of the capital,
Manama.
Protesters massed along the highway after the funeral of a
protester who opposition supporters say died during a rally Thursday.
Witnesses say the man was hit by a police car. Bahrain's Interior
Ministry has denied police were responsible for the death.
The
clashes come during 10 months of unrest in the Gulf kingdom between the
Sunni monarchy and an opposition movement led by the country's Shiite
majority.
