    According to reports, several people, including a policeman, were injured in a clash between the Bahraini security forces and the anti-government protesters on July 19. Hundreds of anti-government protesters took part in protests across several Shiite villages after a call was issued by the opposition February 14 Coalition youth group. Police fired birdshots to disperse the protesters. Though no official toll is available it is believed that around a dozen of people are injured in the incident. 1

    Earlier, reports noted that a car bomb exploded near a mosque near the royal residences in Manama when people were praying inside the mosque. King Hamad Bin Eisa Al Khalifa has condemned the bombing as an act of terror and has directed the security services to take the necessary measures to enforce the law towards those who perpetrated the act of terror targeting people performing their Ramadan evening prayers. 2
