Bahraini Forces Disrupt Protest Ahead of Uprising's 2-Year Anniversary 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Bahraini forces have broken up a new protest against the ruling monarchy
with tear gas and stun grades. Hundreds of people tried to march to the
capital Manama's Pearl Roundabout, the symbol of their uprising against
the U.S.-backed Bahraini regime. Thursday marks the uprising's two-year
anniversary, and more protests are planned in defiance of a ban on
demonstrations.
