Summary In Bahrain the demonstrators have moved back into Pearl Square after the government ordered the military to disband from the area after riot police staged a night-time attack killing four people and wounding hundreds.
Anti government protesters had approached Pearl Square from all directions. There was a standoff with riot police who had moved in earlier to replace troops withdrawn on royal orders. The crowds in Pearl Square soon swelled into the tens of thousands, celebrating a triumph for the mostly Shiite protesters who took to the streets Monday inspired by popular revolts that toppled leaders in Egypt and Tunisia.
