MANAMA: Bahrain accused Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Friday of providing opposition militants with explosives training in order to carry out attacks in the kingdom, announcing that it had arrested five suspects.
Chief prosecutor Osama Al-Oufi said the intelligence service reported last month that “Bahraini Ahmed Mahfuz Mussawi, currently living in Iran, had planned terrorist bombing operations targeting institutions and places vital to the sovereignty and security of the kingdom.”
Quoted by state news agency BNA, he added that five people had been arrested and “admitted joining a group to carry out terrorist attacks … and traveled to Iran to receive training in Revolutionary Guards camps and then received sums of money.”
