MANAMA (Sputnik) – The attack occurred earlier this month in the village of Karbabad and most of the detained, who are primarily students, have confessed to their involvement in it, the ministry said in a statement obtained by RIA Novosti on Friday.
The attackers used gasoline bombs that were prepared by some of the detained, while the rest were tracking down the movement of police patrols, according to the statement.
Attacks on police have been carried out in Bahrain since the 2011 Arab Spring-inspired protests, as the country’s population, particularly youth groups, have been standing up against the country’s Sunni rulers.
