Police clashes with protesters in Bahrain

Police said on Monday that two homemade bombs exploded Sunday-Monday overnight in a Shiite village west of Manama in Bahrain as police clashed with protesters.

Shiite villages frequently witness clashes between security forces and protesters demanding Bahrain's ruling Sunni Khalifa family to loosen its grip on all key cabinet posts in favor of an elected government.

No casualties were reported, while an investigation is underway, police added.

Arab Spring-inspired protests in Bahrain started in mid-February 2011 and were met by a crackdown a month later.

Mostly young protesters still take to the streets in Shiite villages surrounding Manama, often clashing with security forces.
