Manama, Aug. 6 (BNA): The Kingdom of Bahrain has strongly condemned the cowardly terrorist bombing that targeted today an emergency forces’ mosque in Abha, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and claimed the lives of a number of security men and wounded several others.
It stressed that this heinous crime has nothing to do with any religion and is fully against all moral and humanitarian values, expressing its sincere condolences and sympathy to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its people, and to the families of the martyrs, and its wishes to the injured in this tragic incident a speedy recovery.

The Kingdom of Bahrain greatly appreciated the great efforts exerted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the fight against violence and terrorism both internally and externally, and emphasised its firm support to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and backing of all its actions to consolidate security and extend stability in all parts of the Kingdom and in the region.

It called for stronger and more advanced international efforts to eliminate all forms of terrorism wherever they are and whatever the motives and justifications are, and the parties that stand behind it, after it had become a threat to all countries and communities without discrimination.
