BEIRUT, Feb 26: A prominent Shiite opposition leader is returning to Bahrain after months of voluntary exile in London. Hassan Mushaima's return could mark a new phase for the anti-government movement pressing for more political freedoms in the Gulf nation. He is head of a Shiite group known as Haq, which is considered more hard-line than the main Shiite political bloc that has so far led the protests. - AP
