MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) ? Bahrain's main opposition group says the kingdom's paramilitary National Guard is deploying to back up police as authorities try to quell rising political violence.
Wider use of the Guard could signal a tougher strategy by Bahrain's Sunni embattled monarchy as riot police struggle to contain the Shiite majority's 21-month uprising.
Hadi al-Musawi, a spokesman for Al Wefaq, says Guard troops were seen Saturday setting up in Sitra, a center of the revolt. Previously, Guard forces ? separate from the regular military ? have been used mainly at key sites in the capital Manama.
Heavy clashes erupted Saturday after the funeral of a teenager killed in a traffic incident during a clampdown on marchers the day before.
More than 55 people have died in Bahrain's unrest.
