Manama: A home-made bomb killed a policeman and injured another on Thursday evening in Akr, south of Manama, Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said on Friday.
Bahrain, home to the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet, has witnessed sporadic protests since last year but the ministry described the attack as a “terrorist” bombing.
Government officials were not immediately available for comment.
Bahraini police have been the target of such bombings several times in the past year.
The last such attack took place in May, when four policemen were wounded.
Bahraini authorities accuse Iran of instigating unrest and have vowed a tough response to violent protests as talks with the opposition have stalled.
