Bahrain's newly appointed Minister of Interior, Lieutenant General Sheikh Rashid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa, reaffirmed yesterday that the country was an oasis of peace and security.

His comments came as family members of more than 700 family members of US military and diplomats prepare to 'temporarily relocate' themselves following a travel advisory by the US State Department warning of imminent attacks on US and Western targets in Bahrain.
