Shiites say Bahrain crackdown sets back relations

MANAMA, Bahrain — Bahrain’s top Shiite politician said last week’s crackdown on Shiite protesters has destroyed a decade of stable sectarian relations as the country heads into parliamentary elections scheduled for October.

Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet, has experienced daily clashes for the past week between Shiite protesters and Sunni-dominated security forces because of a series of arrests of leading activists.

Shiites make up as much as 70 percent of Bahrain’s population, according to a 2008 State Department report. But the country is governed by a small Sunni elite headed by the ruling Khalifa family.
