Saudi troops enter Bahrain as violent clashes continue

DAMMAM, Saudi Arabia: More than 1000 Saudi troops have entered Bahrain where anti-regime protests have raged for a month, a Saudi official has said.

They were reported to have entered Bahrain yesterday to help maintain order following clashes between protesters and police.

The Crown Prince of Bahrain is understood to have formally invited the security forces into his country, as part of a request for support from the six-member Gulf Co-operation Council.
