Saudi troops enter Bahrain to restore order

摘要

Dubai-Saudi Arabian troops entered Bahrain March 14 to help restore calm to the neigh- boring island state and avert the threat of a spillover of anti-government unrest to Saudi Arabia's oil-producing eastern province. More than 1,000 Saudi troops, part of the Gulf countries' Peninsula Shield Force, entered Bahrain, where anti-regime protests have raged for a month, French news agency AFP quoted a Saudi official as saying.
