MANAMA – 16 November 2017: A dangerous terrorist has been arrested, while his partner has escaped to Iran, Bahrain News Agency reported on Wednesday quoting an Interior Ministry source.
The two terrorists bombed a police bus on October 27, resulting in the death of policeman Salman Anjam, and injuring nine others.
This was one of a series of terrorist crimes that were planned and executed by a cell linked to Iran-based terror fugitives and closely connected to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. The disruption of the terror cell foiled a major plot to target public personalities in Bahrain and launch attacks with explosives on three oil pipelines.
The members of the terror cell had received intensive training at camps run by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, where they were taught the use of explosives and guns. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards funded the cell and provided logistical support through the Iran-based fugitives.
In October 2011, the members of the cell traveled by land to Syria and then to Iran. Their passports were not stamped at the Syria-Iranian border. They traveled again to Iran in July 2017.
