MANAMA: A group of thugs have targeted security forces as they were performing their duties to protect roads in Sitra. The saboteurs went on a rampage, attacking police with firebombs (Molotov cocktail bombs) and iron rods after attending the funeral of a dead who succumbed to the wounds he sustained in a bomb explosion on May16.
“The security forces intervened to disperse the saboteurs and rioters and restore order”, Central Police director-general said. He announced that an inquiry has been launched into the case of the deceased who was already pronounced dead when he was brought to Sitra Health Centre. He pointed out that the Public Prosecution had then been notified, affirming the determination of the security forces to continue their duties to protect security and stability and deter any attempt to disrupt the national security.
