Omani soldiers use force to end one month sit-in

Omani troops stormed on Tuesday the Earth roundabout in Sohar evacuating a small group of pro-reform protesters and ending a month-old sit-in, eyewitnesses said. They told AFP that soldiers attacked the central area of the northern industrial town at dawn. Less than 20 demonstrators were on the roundabout.

ONA state news agency said security forces detained some "wanted people in Sohar" for "blocking roads and attacking security men".
