The American ambassador to Bahrain affirmed in a press statement said that they were deeply concerned about acts of violence in Bahrain.
“Bahraini officials have confirmed reports of a blast on the evening of May 29th that injured seven police officers, with at least one officer suffering critical injuries. The blast was reportedly caused by a homemade bomb that targeted on-duty police officers near the village of Bani Jamra,” US Ambassador to Bahrain Thomas Krajeski, said.
“We strongly condemn this attack on police and extend our deepest sympathies to all those injured. All violence is completely unacceptable and unhelpful in efforts to rebuild trust and pursue meaningful reconciliation in Bahrain,” Krajeski, added.
“We stress the importance of calm and urge all concerned parties to do everything in their power to prevent further violence. It is incumbent upon all segments of Bahraini society to support and participate in the National Dialogue, condemn acts of violence and incitement, and to contribute to a climate conducive for reconciliation.”
