Mohamed Atef, the Police officer was hit by an incendiary device which seriously injured him, leading to his death after he was admitted to hospital, according to France 24.

Yesterday also, Hussein al-Jaziri, a 16-year-old teenager, was shot dead at close range in a village west of the capital Manama after clashes with the police forces in what is considered an uprising against the Al Khalifa regime, Aljazeera reported.

Following the death of Hussein al-Jaziri, Bahrainis and opposition groups called for nationwide protest rallies and strikes on Thursday and Friday as expression of outrage and condemnation of the killing of the teenager by regime forces.

“Reports say shops have remained closed across Bahrain since Wednesday,” Press T.V reported.

Bahrainis, mostly Shiites, have been protesting since mid-February 2011, calling for political reform and a constitutional monarchy in a kingdom ruled mostly by a Sunni family.

Their demonstrations were harshly cracked down, leaving more than 80 people dead during the two years of unrest.

The Bahraini government then set up an independent commission to investigate the deadly clashes and crackdown. The 2011 commission report indicated that the security forces used excessive force against mostly peaceful protesters.

The Bahraini government admitted that it would implement the 2011 commission report, but the opposition groups denied that.
