Zitat:Officials call bomb blasts that killed 2 in Bahrain terrorism
Published November 05, 2012

Associated Press

MANAMA, Bahrain – A series of bomb blasts in Bahrain's capital killed two people Monday, authorities said, a sign that some factions within the opposition may be increasingly turning to violence in the nearly 21-month uprising against the Gulf nation's Western-backed rulers.

The apparently coordinated string of five explosions in Manama -- described by officials as "terrorism" -- comes less than a week after Bahrain banned all protest gatherings in attempts to quell the deepening unrest in the strategic kingdom, which is home the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.

Clashes have not eased, including crowds pelting three police stations with firebombs early Sunday. More than 55 people have been killed Bahrain's unrest since February 2011 as the nation's majority Shiites press for a greater political voice in the Sunni-ruled island nation.

Anti-government factions in Bahrain have used homemade bombs in the past, including a blast that killed a policeman last month in a mostly Shiite village. The latest attack suggests an expanding campaign of violence because of the scope of the bombings and their placement scattered throughout the heart of the capital, including near one area of restaurants and nightlife popular with Westerners.

January 10, 2013 -- Updated 1542 GMT (2342 HKT)

(CNN) -- U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon said he "deeply regrets" a recent decision by Bahrain's highest court to uphold the verdicts against 13 activists convicted of plotting to overthrow the government.

"He reiterates his firm belief that the only way to promote peace, stability, justice and prosperity in Bahrain is through a national dialogue which addresses the legitimate aspirations of all Bahrainis, and in which all communities can participate freely, without fear or intimidation," the secretary-general's spokesman said Tuesday.

Human Rights Watch also decried the decision saying it confirms "the inability of Bahrain's judicial system to protect basic rights."

The decision Monday took just minutes. The 13 people received sentences between five years and life, said attorney Mohsin Alawi, who represents three of the 13.
