Bahraini security forces have arrested several “vandals” at the biggest shopping mall in the capital, Manama, the state-run Bahrain News Agency reported.
The incident came a day before Bahrain holds special Parliamentary elections to fill 18 seats vacated by the al-Wefaq group, the biggest Shiite Muslim party. Its lawmakers quit to protest a crackdown on mostly Shiite protesters who held demonstrations in February and March. At least 35 people were killed in clashes with security forces.
