Riot police in Bahrain fired tear gas, rubber bullets and stun grenades as they clashed Sunday with hundreds of opposition supporters, some hurling Molotov cocktails, following funeral of a 15-year-old boy. Thousands of opposition supporters carrying Bahraini flags and chanting anti-government slogans converged on the island of Sitra, south of the capital Manama, to mourn the death of Syed Hashem Saeed Eisa. Police earlier tried to seal off the site of the funeral to prevent crowds from gathering. The clash on Sitra marks the latest burst of violence in more than 10 months of confrontations and widespread street protests on the Gulf island nation, which is home to the US Navy\'s 5th Fleet.
