Fadhel al-Obaidi Brain Dead – assassination with point-blank shot to head by Timoney’s “trainee” Police Force

Secretary Clinton’s Appointee to Bahrain, Chief Timoney, Enjoys Coffee while Trainees let loose on Streets

Medea Benjamin – “Since assuming his new position, Timoney has claimed that Bahrain has been reforming its brutal police tactics in response to recommendations issued by the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry. He says that there is less tear gas being used and that while tear gas might be “distasteful,” it’s not really harmful.

I have no idea what country Chief Timoney is talking about, because it’s certainly not the Bahrain I saw this past week, a week that marked the one-year anniversary since the February 14, 2011 uprising.

Timoney should also meet the parents of 14-year-old Ali Jawad al-Sheik. He did not die from inhalation. No. He was killed on August 31, 2011, when the police fired tear gas at protesters from roughly 20 feet away. A canister busted open the young boy’s face. To his parent’s furor, the autopsy said the cause of death was “unknown.”

The same thing happened exactly four months later to 15-year-old Sayyed Hashem Saeed. The police then used tear gas to disperse mourners at Sayyed’s funeral.

Faisal Abdali, a businessman who lives at the entrance of Sitra, would also love to speak to the police chief. He is hopping mad and wants some justice and accountability.” Police Chief Timoney, Meet Bahraini Mothers by Medea Benjamin – full story HERE
