Bahrain Prepares For New Crackdown

ABU DHABI [MENL] -- Bahrain has been preparing for a new crackdown on
Shi'ite unrest.
Officials said the Interior Ministry was ordered to launch major
operations against Iranian-backed Shi'ite strongholds in Bahrain. They said
the ministry and the military have determined that Iran was preparing to
renew and intensify Shi'ite attacks against the Sunni regime in 2012.
