Source: BBC

he death toll from Tuesday's raid by Bahraini police on the home of the Sunni-ruled kingdom's most prominent Shia cleric has risen to five.

The interior ministry said 286 people were also arrested after officers came "under attack by members of a terrorist cell" in the village of Diraz.

Activists said the officers opened fire at a sit-in by supporters of Sheikh Isa Qassim, who was not detained.

It came two days after the cleric was convicted of corruption charges.
