Thousands of anti-government protesters march Tuesday, March 15, 2011, to the Saudi embassy in Manama, Bahrain. Bahrain's king declared a three-month state of emergency Tuesday to quell a Shiite uprising, as clashes spread through the capital and surrounding villages in a showdown that drew in the region's major powers and splintered along its main sectarian faultlines. At least two Bahrainis and a Saudi soldier died, and hundreds of protesters were injured by shotgun blasts and clubs. (AP Photo/Hasan Jamali) (AP)
