Saudi Shi'ites Crowd Funeral of Slain Protester

Description:Thousands of Shi'ite Muslims on Tuesday turned out for the funeral of a man killed during protests triggered by the arrest of a prominent Shi'ite Muslim cleric in Saudi Arabia's oil-producing Eastern province. Mohamed al-Felfel was one of two men shot dead on Sunday in what an Interior Ministry spokesman described as a "criminal act" after protests broke out following the arrest of Shi'ite cleric, Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, on sedition charges.
