DUBAI: A bomb in a village outside the Bahraini capital has killed one person, the second blast in a suburb of Manama this week, the interior ministry said on Tuesday.
The interior ministry gave no date for the latest bombing saying only that a body discovered on Monday was found to have been killed in a bombing.
"An initial investigation into a body found on a farm in the village of Hajar on June 19 showed the death was the result of a bomb blast," the ministry said, without elaborating.
Police, meanwhile, made several arrests in connection with a Sunday night bombing outside Manama that killed a policeman and wounded two others, the ministry said.
That blast struck in the flashpoint village of Diraz. Five supporters of anti-government cleric Eisa Qasim were killed in the village last month in clashes with security forces.
Last year, a court order stripped Qassim of his Bahraini citizenship.
In May, a court sentenced him to a suspended one-year jail term on charges of money laundering and illegal fundraising.
The authorities have also banned the opposition group Al-Wefaq — the largest in parliament before 2011 — as well as the main secular opposition group Al-Waad.
