Witnesses said police dispersed the demonstrators with stun grenades as the inauguration proceeded inside. There were no reports of casualties.

Kardashian stirred controversy even before she arrived in Bahrain from Kuwait, where she opened another store last week.

Hardline Sunni Muslim MPs presented a motion to parliament calling her "an actress with an extremely bad reputation", according to Bahrain's English language Gulf Daily News.

The assembly did not vote on the motion, the newspaper said.

Many Kardashian fans tweeted their displeasure, saying the "MPs should focus their time on solving key political, economic and social issues", the newspaper reported.

Bahrain, where the U.S. Fifth Fleet is based, is trying to overcome nearly two years of unrest among its majority Shi'ite Muslims demanding political reforms and equality with the Sunni Muslims who rule the kingdom.

Problem: British teen killed when coffee-drinking driver hits her

Tuesday, September 8, 2015, 7:46 AM

A British teenage girl was killed when a van driver had a coughing fit while drinking coffee and smashed into her.

Lucy Brown, 18, died instantly after Kevin Rose hit her with his seven-ton Mercedes truck following his fit, which also caused him to faint.

Rose, 57, took a drink from his hot flask, which led to the coughing fit while pulling out of a factory yard in Wales.

Caernarfon Crown Court heard how Rose swerved on the wrong side of the road, before stopping and blacking out, reported the Daily Mirror.

Rose, who denies causing death by careless driving during the incident almost two years ago, later told police: "It's almost like something got stuck in my throat. That's the last thing I can remember."

Rose had driven overnight from the south of England to deliver his load to north Wales, stopping for breaks in between.

Prosecutor John Philpotts described said Rose suffered a loss of consciousness that caused him to lose control of his van with “catastrophic consequences.”

He added: "To drive a vehicle while holding and drinking from a flask of coffee is to drive dangerously."

Philpotts said at the trial it was unlikely Brown failed to see the deadly truck approaching and added: "What she didn't know as she walked along that footpath was that she had seconds left to live.

"The van had knocked her down and killed her as she walked along that pavement.”
