Auf dem veröffentlichten Bild (folge link) sind furchtbar gefährlich aussehende HT Rohre und Feuerlöscher und mit Draht und Coladosen zusammengelötete "Gewehre"(????) zu sehen. Die zwei Betten sollen wohl das Lazarett darstellen. Die "Terroristen" scheinen Großes vorzuhaben. Verantwortlich für Aufstand und Bewaffnung ist selbstverständlich:

Bahrain slams US rights report
Report ignores progress in promoting people’s rights, says Bahrain foreign ministry
By Habib Toumi, Bureau ChiefPublished: 11:07 April 24, 2013
...
“The report lacks objectivity and impartiality, and has overlooked Bahrain’s progress in protecting and promoting human rights,” the ministry said in a statement.

“The report did not shed light on the most significant steps taken by the kingdom towards consolidating human rights achievements. It also undermined the independence of the judicial system and overlooked facts and figures mentioned by the unit tasked with the implementation of the recommendations set by the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI),” the ministry said on Tuesday.
...
The US report claimed that human rights problems in Bahrain were related to the “arrest and detention of protesters on vague charges” and to the “lack of due process in trials of political and human rights activists, medical personnel, teachers, and students, with some resulting in harsh sentences”.

It however added that “some protesters engaged in lethal acts of violence against security forces, including the use of improvised explosive devices, Molotov cocktails, and other improvised weapons”.
...
“The State Department report has failed to mention the reforms and achievements accomplished by Bahrain, especially the ones related to the security sector, including arrest measures and detention conditions,” the ministry said.

Das "Königreich" in Bahrain wird dem Druck nicht ewig standhalten können. Die jüngste Verlegung von ausgemusterten Saudischen Panzern wird das nur kurzfristig verhindern.
