The trio "resisted police and fired live rounds" at ******rs on Thursday in the city's busy Juffair district, said a ministry statement published by the official Bahrain News Agency. Tiny but strategic Bahrain, headquarters for America's Fifth Fleet, has been shaken by unrest since 2011, when protests calling for a constitutional monarchy were crushed by authorities. Opponents of the royal family in the Sunni-led but Shiite-majority kingdom still frequently clash with police and many have been arrested and handed lengthy jail terms.
