Protests and clashes are spreading throughout Bahrain following the execution of three men convicted of a deadly bomb attack on police.
Protesters have set ablaze a city hall overnight in Bahrain, the government said on Monday.
The blaze came after three men were put to death by firing squad on Sunday over the bomb attack on police in 2014, sparking clashes between angry protesters and security forces.
