MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — A young Bahraini man has died after being shot by police earlier this month, authorities and members of the political opposition in the Gulf nation said Sunday, even as they disagreed on the circumstances.

The death could inflame simmering tensions between the Shiite opposition and the Sunni monarchy at a time when efforts to revive fragile reconciliation talks are showing signs of progress in the island kingdom, which hosts the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet.
