In Bahrain, protesters have won a symbolic victory by reclaiming a key public square in the capital city, Manama, where four protesters were killed by riot police last week. Thousands of protesters are now camped out in the Pearl Roundabout following days of violence by the U.S.-backed regime. The New York Times reports Bahraini forces fired on hundreds of funeral-goers from a helicopter, and security forces on the ground fired on ambulances that tried to help the wounded.
