Bahrain's main opposition accused government troops of raiding the home of the country's leading Shiite cleric on Friday, and warned that authorities will bear responsibility for this "dangerous" act.
The Shiite Al-Wefaq movement levelled the accusations in a statement and distributed pictures of what it said was damage caused to the home of Ayatollah Issa Qassem in the town of Diraz, west of Manama.
There was no immediate confirmation from the minority Sunni-ruled government of Bahrain -- home to the US Navy's Fifth Fleet.
