A military court in Bahrain today sentenced six men to death. They were convicted of various terrorist offenses and of planning to assassinate ruling family member and head of Bahrain’s military Field Marshal Sheikh Khalifa bin Ahmed Al-Khalifa. Five were acquitted and seven others sentenced to seven years in jail and, like those sentenced to death, also stripped of their citizenship. In April this year Bahrain’s king approved a constitutional amendment to allow the trial of civilians in military courts. Trump said that Bahrain is "doing a lot of business" with the U.S. and "buying a lot of things."
