Bahrain's military takes control

As Bahrain officials ban gatherings, things get violent when the military gets summoned and ends with 5 anti-government protestors getting killed. The tensions in Bahrain are decades old as sunni and shiite sects in the country vie for power only being intensified by recent political protest across the Arab world. As police forces use tear gas and fire shotguns on the crowd most dispersed and the streets of the capital are relatively quiet for now.
