On the Reuters wire this morning. Curiously, this is filed as an
"oddly enough" story - the category usually full of urban legend-type
stories.
MANAMA (Reuters) - Some 100 Bahraini Islamists shouting "God is
Greatest" stormed a French restaurant serving alcohol in the
pro-Western Gulf Arab state and threatened diners with knives,
witnesses said on Thursday.
One diner managed to wrest a knife away from the Islamists and
stabbed one with it, causing him severe injuries, a witness said.
They said the assailants, opposed to the consumption of alcohol
banned by Islam, also threw gasoline bombs at customers' cars parked
outside the restaurant near the capital Manama late on Wednesday,
damaging nine vehicles.
