Saudi police break up pro-Hizbollah Shiite protest

Saudi police dispersed on Thursday a pro-Hizbollah protest in a city in the eastern region, which
is home to the kingdom's Shiite Muslim minority, witnesses said


In the third such protest in less than a week in al-Qatif demonstrators brandished the yellow banner of the Iran-backed Lebanese guerrilla group and pictures of its leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and torched Israeli flags, they said. Interior Ministry officials could not be reached for comment. (Reuters)
