"Bahrain has witnessed a coup attempt"

(Reuters) - "....... "Bahrain has witnessed a coup attempt," Prime Minister Sheikh Khalifa bin Salman al-Khalifa said in remarks carried by pro-government media on Monday. "No violators would get away with it. All co-conspirators and abettors must be held accountable." ..... Bahrain's foreign minister hinted on Monday that Gulf troops could be there for some time, saying they would only leave the small island state when an external threat to Gulf Arab countries from nearby Shi'ite power Iran was seen as gone. "There are no Saudi forces, there are GCC forces and they will leave when they are done with any external threat,"
