DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A court in Bahrain ordered the country's main Shiite opposition group to be dissolved on Sunday, deepening a crackdown on dissent in the strategically important Western-allied kingdom.

The ICRC called on the Lebanese authorities to create a "national mechanism" to help match victims' bodies with their families.
