1215 GMT: An EA correspondent in Bahrain writes about last night's events in Sitra:
The clashes were very heavy. It was not only the Molotov that hit the [police] SUV. Before that, there was hand-to-hand clashes, with police shooting at protesters at close range, causing some injuries. This made the youth get out the Molotovs, using them until the SUV hit the wall out of fear.
Last night, a few houses of activists in Sitra were raided but the police did not find anyone, since the activists were elsewhere.
The expectation is more raids will happen this week. The police won't stop before casting the blame on some people.
