A bomb exploded on a main thoroughfare on the outskirts of the Bahraini capital Manama on Sunday damaged several cars but caused no injuries, in what the interior ministry described as a ‘terrorist’ act.
There have been increased protests in the kingdom after the execution last month of three Shia Muslim men convicted of killing three policemen in a bomb attack in 2014.
An off-duty policeman was shot dead outside the capital late last month in what authorities also deemed a politically-motivated attack.
