Shiite villages around the capital have seen frequent protests against Bahrain's ruling Sunni dynasty since the crushing of a 2011 uprising backed by the Shiite majority, with the demonstrations often igniting clashes with security forces. The two Bahraini suspects, one of whom holds a US passport, were arrested Monday after they allegedly "demonstrated and attacked a police patrol using Molotov cocktails and iron bars" in the Shiite village of Maameer, the public prosecutor said in a statement. The lawyer of the suspect carrying a US passport has demanded his release, the statement said, however both "were jailed on remand." The interior ministry meanwhile an**unced on Twitter that two on-duty policemen were wounded when a homemade bomb exploded in a "terrorist act" in East Ekar, without providing further details.
