Horrific video: Massacre in the Bahrain troops gunning down peaceful protesters in the street
Posted by ai at 5:21 AM
Across the Atlantic in the Middle East, protestors yearning to rid themselves of the yoke of tyranny are meeting harsh resistance.
The Daily Mail reports that dozens of demonstrators chanted as they marched towards tanks in Bahrain but they fled seconds later as the clatter of bullets ricocheted through the street.
Two protesters lay motionless with blood spilling onto the road while as many as 50 others walked away wounded in the attack in the country's second city of Manama.
The shocking scenes resembled dozens of similar protests in Libya, Yemen and Jordan where citizens demanded democratic reform in a 'Friday of Rage' sweeping the crisis-hit region.

I truly believe what happened in Egypt was false. Why would the Egyptian miliatary be so different from others in the Middle East? Maybe they wanted to give the people a false sense tha they are really are go for free elections when in actuallity they've been secreatly plotting with the Muslim Brotherhood to ease Mubarack out of power and radicalize Egypt?
