Bahrain: Explosions

An explosion in Bahrain on 9 December killed a policeman in the village of Damistan, south-west of Manama. The Interior Ministry named him as Jordanian national Ali Mohammed Ali, who was working in Bahrain as part of a security and training exchange agreement between Bahrain and Jordan. The ministry said it was a terrorist bombing, using a homemade device that was detonated remotely. The next day, there was another explosion in the village of Karzakan, which killed a Bahraini citizen and wounded an expatriate man.
