Bahrain village blast injures 5 policemen

Manama: Five policemen were injured, including two seriously, when a homemade bomb went off in a village on the island of Muharraq, north of the capital Manama.

The blast occurred on Saturday evening when the policemen were dealing with a “terrorist group at the entrance of Dair village,” said the head of the police in the Governorate of Muharraq.

The blast occurred ten days before a national dialogue on peace and security in the country.

Twenty-seven delegates from two political coalitions, the parliament and the government are expected to join the talks.
