Sitra terror blast suspects identified

Manama, July 29 (BNA): Public Security Chief Major-General Tariq Al Hassan said that several suspects in the Sitra terror blast have been arrested after they were identified in the investigation launched immediately after the heinous bombing. Al Hassan earlier said that two policemen died on Tuesday morning in Sitra when a bus carrying policemen at the end of their shift at the Sitra police station came under attack near Granada Primary Girls' School on Road One by a group of terrorists who remotely-detonated a bomb planted there. Six other policemen who sustained serious and medium injuries were taken to hospital and initial reports indicated they were in stable condition. Various security and legal measures were taken following the incident, including a security deployment and the activation of security points to determine the movement of people in certain areas to ensure the safety of the public and the forces. A crime scene team was assigned to the location to examine the evidence and the Public Prosecution was notified. “Such terrorist acts will not stop policemen from carrying out their duties and taking all security and legal procedures against anyone who puts the lives of citizens and residents at risk or attacks public or private property,” Al Hassan said
