DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Thousands of mourners in Bahrain on Tuesday took part in a funeral procession for a man killed in the first Egypt-inspired protests to reach the Gulf.Riot police initially used tear gas to try to block the funeral cortege for 21-year-old Ali Abdulhadi Mushaima, but then fell back and allowed it to proceed from a hospital in Bahrain's capital Manama.Mushaima was killed during clashes with security forces Monday trying to halt marches to demand greater freedoms and political rights from the ruling monarchy in Bahrain — a strategic Western ally and home to the US Navy's 5th Fleet.At least 25 people were treated for injuries.The unrest coincided with major anti-government protests in Iran and Yemen.
