4:30Now PlayingTrump’s visit to Bahrain appears to have emboldened them to kill their citizens with even more impunity. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"A raid by government forces in Bahrain against a pro-opposition stronghold has left at least five people dead and hundreds detained in one of the deadliest crackdowns since protests erupted in 2011 against the Persian Gulf nation’s Western-backed monarchy.
Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said it carried out the raid Tuesday in the village of Duraz. It said officers came under attack, including from assailants armed with explosives.
Opposition activists said the police targeted a peaceful sit-in outside the home of Bahrain’s leading Shiite cleric and that the dead included an environmental activist.
