7 Arrested in Bahrain over Arson Attack at Police Patrol

Seven suspects wanted over an arson attack at a police patrol at the entrance of Deraz village have been arrested, Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said in a statement on Friday.

The attack, according to Bahrain’s Director-General of Criminal Investigation and Forensic Science, took place on March 21 and caused a minor injury to a policeman.

Crime scene specialists and other security teams were deployed to carry out an investigation, which led to identifying the suspects and arresting them, he said.

Cameras with footage showing the attack and some other evidence were also seized from the suspects.

Legal proceedings were initiated to refer the case to the Public Prosecution, the official added.
