MANAMA, Bahrain ? A senior cleric in Bahrain charges the country's Sunni rulers treat Shiite protesters seeking greater rights in the Gulf kingdom as "enemies of state."
The comments by Sheik Isa Qassim come during deepening tensions between the ruling Sunni monarchy and majority Shiites on the strategic island that is the home base of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.
Sheik Isa was speaking during Friday's sermon at a mosque in the opposition stronghold of Diraz, northwest of the capital Manama.
In Bahrain's oil hub of Sitra, mourners were gathering for the funeral for a man his relatives say died after inhaling tear gas fired at protesters Tuesday night.
More than 30 people have been killed since protests began in February.
