Bomb kills two policemen in Bahrain’s Shiite village of Sitra

“A terrorist bombing targeted policemen on duty in the Sitra area, resulting in the deaths of two of them and seriously wounding a third”, BNA said, citing a tweet from the Interior Ministry.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – Two Bahraini policemen were wounded and six were injured in a bomb attack south of the island kingdom’s capital on Tuesday, according to authorities.

The ammo were usually just like those particular gotten by peace of mind powers on Saturday, how the government says were usually smuggled straight into the nation by two Bahrainis along with referral links to Iran.

Bahrain was hit in 2011 by demonstrations demanding greater democracy and more rights for Shi’ites, many of whom say they are subject to political and economic discrimination. Anti-government activists have planted bombs that have killed or maimed police in the past.

The blast in Sitra island, the scene of frequent clashes between security forces and Shiite demonstrators, comes days after the Sunni-ruled kingdom announced it had foiled an attempt to smuggle weapons from Iran.

Police linked the smuggling attempt to Iran.

Iran has denied involvement.
