The Minister of State for Information Affairs and Government Spokesperson, Sameera Ebrahim bin Rajab, said that the new spate of attacks in Bahrain were result of inciting religious hatred by some religious fatwas delivered by some disgruntled elements in the society.
She condemned five terrorist explosions on Monday in Gudaibiya and Adliya areas of the Capital, Manama, by homemade bombs, killing two Asian residents and injuring another, currently in a serious condition.
The minister condemned those terrorist acts aiming to terrorize citizens and residents, and to destabilize the country, pointing out that these terrorist operations are due to religious fatwas issued by some religious figures who haven’t shunned inciting violence against civilians and policemen.
Rajab confirmed that international law requires countries to protect the security of citizens and residents on its territory, and called for zero tolerance in the application of the law, to control the religious speech of religious figures, and hold accountable anyone involved with those terrorist acts directly or indirectly, noting that this is the core duty of the government bodies in all countries of the world.
The minister said it was unfortunate that those actions targeted residents in the Kingdom of Bahrain, who have helped, and are still helping to enhance the economic development in Bahrain for decades.
