MANAMA: A group of lawbreakers sowed chaos in the aftermath of the funeral of Fadhel Abbas at Diraz cemetery.
“The rioters blocked Budaiya Highway then attempted to attack security forces with Molotov cocktails (petrol bombs) and iron rods,” Northern Police director-general said.
Police warned them repeatedly to disperse, to no avail, before intervening to restore order, as per legal provisions, so as to protect civil peace and avert clashes with residents in the area.
