US Delays Bahraini Arms Sale
Local Editor
Bahrain's foreign minister Khaled bin Ahmed al-Khalifa is on a visit to the US days after Washington was forced to delay a planned 53 million dollar arms sale to the small Gulf kingdom.
Al-Khalifa had a meeting with his American counterpart Hillary Clinton at the US State Department and is scheduled to will meet with a number of other US officials.
Washington put the arms sale on hold pending the outcome of Manama's report into human rights abuses during months of crackdown on anti-regime protesters.
On Thursday, Bahrain delayed the release of the report produced by the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry, which was due for release on October 23, for one month.
Human rights activists and many US lawmakers strongly opposed the arms sale to the regime of King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa that has brutally clamped down on pro-democracy protesters in the tiny island, home to a huge military base of US Navy's fifth fleet.
Meanwhile, civilian protests continue in Manama as the regime continues in its brutal crackdown on popular demonstration.
