REUTERS-Armed men attacked a
prison in Bahrain on Sunday, freeing several convicts and killing a policeman,
the interior ministry said.
"An armed
attack on the Jau reform and rehabilitation center resulted in the death of
policeman Abdul Salam Saif and the escape of a number of inmates convicted of
terrorist crimes," the ministry said in a statement.
Thousands of mainly
Shi'ite Muslim Bahrainis are in jail on charges ranging from participating in
anti-government protests to armed attacks on security forces in the
Western-allied Gulf kingdom, where the U.S. Fifth Fleet is based.
