Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned the fatal bombing in Bahrain that killed three policemen, including an Emirati police officer, branding it a \u201cterrorist act.\u201d<\/p>\n
Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal denounced the attack Thursday and called for punishing the perpetrators of the explosion that was primarily aimed at sparking violence in Bahrain and destabilizing the peace and security of the neighboring Gulf states. \u201cThe incidents in Bahrain are utterly criminal,\u201d said Prince Saud in a statement published in the local media.<\/p>\n
He said the Kingdom considers these incidents \u201cterrorist acts\u201d and that \u201csuch criminal actions are not unacceptable to any nation or person who has faith in Islamic and Arab solidarity.\u201d<\/p>\n
The GCC and Bahrain have asked Iran to refrain from fomenting violence in Bahrain and the region at large.<\/p>\n
Bahrain\u2019s Foreign Minister, Sheikh Khaled bin Ahmed Al-Khalifa, rebuked Iran on Thursday at the UN Human Rights Council forum in Geneva. \u201cThis is terrorism\u2026premeditated,\u201d said Al-Khalifa in a statement released on Thursday.<\/p>\n
He further said \u201cthe Iranian meddling in the affairs of Bahrain has become evident from the increase in the terrorist activities\u201d in his country. He told a local daily that his country \u201cis now suffering from an increase in terrorist activities because of the hostile role of certain countries in the region.\u201d
\u201cWe have issued a statement listing three organizations on the terror list and will be in contact with the world about this matter,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTerrorism is one thing and political actions are something else,\u201d the Bahraini minister said in response to a question about the opposition\u2019s aim to undermine the security of Bahrain in particular and the Gulf region in general.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe menace of terrorism is posing a growing threat to the peace and security of the Gulf region. The Gulf countries are concerned over the situation.\u201d He added: \u201cThe UAE has also taken a firm stance against terrorism and voiced its support for Bahrain. The GCC countries as a bloc are exerting efforts to ensure peace and security in the Gulf and in the extended region.\u201d<\/p>\n
GCC foreign ministers also condemned Tuesday night the bomb explosion.<\/p>\n
Bahrain blacklisted three anti-government groups as terrorist organizations after the explosion.
These groups are Saraya Al-Ashtar (Ashtar Brigade), Saraya Al-Muqawama (Resistance Brigade) and others associated or allied to them. The decision effectively outlaws these groups and makes their members subject to imprisonment. Bahrain listed Lebanon\u2019s Hezbollah as a terrorist organization last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
