Another ugly incident from the latest round of protests across the Middle East. Al Jazeera:

At least one person has reportedly been killed and several others injured after riot police in Bahrain opened fire at protesters holding a funeral service for a man killed during protests in the kingdom a day earlier.

Fadhel Ali Almatrook was hit with bird-shotgun in the capital, Manama, on Tuesday morning, Maryam Alkhawaja, head of foreign relations at the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, told Al Jazeera.

"This morning the protesters were walking from the hospital to the cemetery and they got attacked by the riot police," Alkhawaja said.
In Iran, the protesters were met with tear gas and at least one death was reported there as well as many more injuries from clashes with police. In Yemen, 3000 people marched and fortunately there were no reports of death. There were many injuries and fights involving pro-government protesters.
