KABUL: (MEP) A Bahraini court has sentenced 29 people to prison terms ranging from five years to life imprisonment over launching an alleged bomb attack against Al Khalifa regime forces in the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom.
“The country’s High Criminal Court ruled on Tuesday that the perpetrators had detonated an explosive device intended to target regime forces on December 19, 2014” Chief of Bahrain’s Terror Crime Prosecution Advocate General Ahmed al-Hammadi said.
The blast injured security personnel and damaged patrol vehicles.
According to the prosecutor in the case, the citizenship of two of the convicts were revoked and the other 27 were also ordered to pay 2,782.130 Bahraini dinars (USD 7,389.46).
This comes as earlier this month, Bahrain’s High Criminal Court sentenced five people to life imprisonment over alleged involvement in a bombing against regime forces on al-Janabiya Highway in the coastal town of al-Budaiya, located just 10 kilometers (six miles) southwest of the capital, Manama, on June 4 last year.
