Bahrain's main opposition group says security forces have stormed a building housing an exhibition dedicated to the Arab Spring-inspired uprising in the violence-wracked Gulf nation.
Wednesday's raid comes two days after the opening of the museum-style site, which included scenes depicting Bahrain's 32-month unrest, such as protesters killed in clashes or running from tear gas.
More than 65 people have been killed in violence since Bahrain's Shiite majority launched protests in February 2011 for a greater political voice in the Sunni-ruled kingdom. Some rights groups place the death toll higher.

The main Shiite political group Al Wefaq said riot police closed off the building in the capital Manama.
Bahrain is home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.
