MANAMA: A policeman was killed while on duty southwest of the Bahraini capital Manama yesterday in what authorities described as a “terrorist” attack using a bomb made by Hezbollah.
The Interior Ministry gave few details of the incident in the village of Damistan. Bahrain’s Foreign Minister, Sheikh Khaled bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, said on Twitter the policeman had fallen victim to “a bomb made by the terrorist Hezbollah”. He was referring to Lebanese Shia group, which Bahrain has previously accused of being linked to militants in the country.
