Saudi snipers are reported to have gunned down a Bahraini nurse, targeting the medical staffer as she tried to reach a hospital in the capital.
The victim came under attack on Thursday in the Qadam village, while heading for Manama's Salmaniya Hospital, witnesses said.
Government forces have reportedly commandeered the hospitals while carrying on with their bloody crackdown on anti-government protests across the country.
Demonstrators in the Shia-majority country have been demanding the ouster of the 230-year-old Sunni-led monarchy as well as constitutional reforms, with hundreds camping out peacefully in the capital's Pearl Square since February 14th.
Manama-sanctioned crackdown by security forces has killed several people, injuring tens of others.
Thousands have turned out in Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia to protest the Saudi-led invasion of Bahrain and the brutal crackdown of anti-regime protesters there.
