Should read read:  Monarchy razes Pearl Square to the ground. The Anti Monarchy protestors in Bahrain will have to go it alone. There will not be a  NO Fly Zone this time or  a prepared troop invasion by Monarchical Britain in this example. See Monarchical Britains aggressive plans/resolve for Libya!!! What blasted hypocrits the Queen and her government is/are!!!William Gladys.

Bahrain razes Pearl Square to ground

Pearl Square after demolition on Friday March 18, 2011

Bahraini authorities have razed to the ground Manama's Pearl Square, which is considered the epicenter of anti-government protests in the country.

The iconic central structure was brought down on Friday two days after Bahraini and Saudi forces, backed by tanks and helicopters, cleared the land mark square where anti-government protesters had been camped for several weeks.

At least six people were killed and many others have been injured in the brutal crackdown on Wednesday.

Pearl square consisted of six dhows (sails) projecting up toward the sky and holding up a pearl. The dhows represent the six Persian Gulf littoral sates of Bahrain, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman.

The pearl represents the joint heritage of these countries, whose economies were based on pearl diving before the discovery of oil.

Meanwhile, several thousands of anti-government protesters took to the streets in the town of Draz after the Friday Prayers, despite a government ban on demonstrations.

Demonstrators in the Shia-majority country have been demanding the ouster of the 230-year-old Sunni-led monarchy as well as constitutional reforms since February 14th.

More than 12 people have been killed and about 1,000 injured during the anti-government protests the Persian Gulf kingdom.

Bahrain is home to the US Fifth Fleet major military base.
