Police and anti-government protesters have clashed before in the village of Sitra
DUBAI: Two attacks outside the Bahraini capital Manama killed one policeman and wounded five, the interior ministry and police said yesterday, in the latest unrest to rock the country. A bomb killed one policeman and wounded two in a Shia village near Manama, Bahrain’s head of public security said.
“Terrorist groups targeted a police station in Sitra” late on Saturday, General Tariq Hasan said in the statement carried by the official BNA news agency.
“As police attempted to secure the area... the terrorists blew up an improvised bomb against security forces in an attack that killed policeman Yasser Dhaib and wounded two others.”
In Janabiya, another Shia village outside the capital, a “group of terrorists attacked a security patrol with Molotov cocktails,” the Interior Ministry said on Twitter. AFP
