Six People Dead and Hundreds Wounded in Behrain

At least six people have been killed and hundreds injured in Bahrain as violence continues to escalate.  Today, government forces backed by Saudi troops drove out pro-democracy demonstrators from the capital city of Manama.  The Bahrainian government has been cracking down on movement, blocking roads and imposing a strict twelve-hour curfew beginning at four PM.  Hospitals in the city are overwhelmed by the wounded and employees are not allowed to enter or leave.    KBOO's Chris Andrae spoke with Reen Khalifa, Senior Editor for Diplomatic Affairs of Al Wasat News, the only independent news outlet in Bahrain.
