Bahrain F1 race to go ahead amid tensions, protests


MANAMA (Reuters) - Bahrain's controversial Formula One race will go ahead on Sunday despite opposition protests and street violence plaguing the island kingdom more than two years after pro-democracy protests began.

Young men have battled police officers in near-nightly clashes in the Gulf Arab country - a key Western ally that hosts the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet - since protests broke out in February 2011.
