Demolishing Imam Jawad mosque in Nuwaidrat
Amid growing clampdown on Bahrain's anti-government protesters, police have reportedly destroyed mosques in northern city of Bu Quwah.
Police also arrested people in the city on Tuesday, witnesses said.
Also on Tuesday, tanks, armored vehicles and thugs attacked the western town of Eker.
Earlier on Monday, Saudi-backed Bahraini forces demolished two more mosques. One of the mosques was located in Karzakan and the other in Salmabad.
Several mosques have been destroyed so far as part of the Saudi-backed crackdown against peaceful protesters.
In March, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait deployed their troops in Bahrain to reinforce the brutal armed clampdown against mass protests.
Meanwhile, Saudi King Abdullah on Tuesday vowed full Manama support for what he called Bahrain's security and stability.
"The security of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia is indivisible - being two bodies with one soul," the Saudi monarch said.
He rejected any foreign interference in Bahrain's internal affairs and expressed unwavering support for the Persian Gulf state's independence and sovereignty, saying that the security of the two countries are intertwined.
Scores of protesters have been killed and many others gone missing during the harsh Saudi-backed crackdown in Bahrain.
