SOHAR, Oman, March 29 (UPI) -- Security forces in Oman cleared blockades throughout the city of Sohar in a pre-dawn raid Tuesday and arrested a number of protesters, officials said.
The forces raided the Globe Roundabout, rousting and arresting encamped protesters before dismantling the impromptu camp site, witnesses told Gulf News. "Everything is normal and army has taken charge of the city," said Ali al Badi, who lives in the industrial port city.
