Bahrain on Friday tore down the 300-foot (90-meter) monument at the heart of a square purged of Shiite protesters this week, erasing a symbol of an uprising that's inflaming sectarian tensions across the region.

The monument six white curved beams topped with a huge cement pearl was built in Pearl Square as a tribute to the Sunni-ruled kingdom's history as a pearl-diving center.
