Man... that's some "Religion of Peace"

I'd sure hate to see these guys when they're really pissed...
The Bahrain capital of Manama was rocked by sporadic clashes, hours after riot police attacked a makeshift encampment of pro-reform protesters in the centre of the city, killing at least four and injuring dozens of others.

An Al Jazeera correspondent, who cannot be named for security reasons, said on Thursday that "clashes were no longer limited to one place...they are now spread out in different parts of the city".

He said that the hospitals are full of injured people after last night's police raid on the protesters.
And it looks like the fire is spreading...
Several hundred supporters of Muammar Gaddafi, the country's longtime leader, have also reportedly gathered in the capital on Thursday to counter online calls for anti-government protests.

Their action comes amid reports that at least 14 people have been killed in clashes between pro and anti-government protesters since Wednesday. Libya has been tightly controlled for over 40 years by Gaddafi, who is now Africa's longest-serving leader.
