Three Bahrain Shia sentenced to death over bombing, A court in Bahrain has sentenced three Shia Muslims to death a bomb attack last year that killed three policemen, officials and lawyers say.

Another seven people were jailed for life for the attack in a village near the capital, Manama, on 3 March.
