Death of Infant

There have been lots of tweets and a few articles about an infant that died after exposure to tear gas in Bahrain this weekend. I'm sure this will be controversial, but here is a translation of one article I received, which also has more details than others. I'm not clear on all of the medical terminology, but this is seems to be strong evidence that the death is linked to tear gas:

"The Administrative Director of Public and International Relations in the Ministry of Health made an announcement about the 4-day old infant named Sajdah, who died Saturday, December 10, 2011 in the Salmaniya Medical Center. The medical report indicated that the cause of death was acute poisoning of the blood and septic shock due to bacterial poisoning in the blood. The Ministry of Health expressed its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased infant. We ask the Magnificent and Lofty God to protect her with his vast mercy and to inspire them with patience and solace."
