In the Iran War, two US military planes shot down today, one crew member rescued another
missing.
A few details about the second incident.
Meanwhile, Charles Stulleridesma reports that death in custody is raising tensions in
Bahrain.
Muhammad Al Musawi, a Shiite Muslim, detained in Bahrain last month as the island kingdom
came under missile attack from Iran, had apparently vanished until his family was called
into a treefist body from a military hospital.
The body was covered in slash marks and bruising, including on the soles of his feet, apparent
signs of torture.
His death has become a flashpoint in the Sunni rule Shiite majority country on the
war's front lines.
Critics say the authorities have revived the tactics used to suppress protests in 2011.
Bahrain, a monarchy that hosts the US Navy's fifth fleet, has arrested dozens of people
throughout the war, for filming strikes and demonstrations, expressing support for Iran
and on suspicion of spying for it.
