Bahrain MPs condemn terrorist attack

ManamaParliamentarians yesterday urged to take “maximum punishment against those involved in the terrorist incident” in the village of Buri.

The MPs revealed that 22 policemen were killed and around 3,500 were injured in acts of terror committed by Iran-backed groups and militias in Bahrain since the year 2011.

This came during a session held to discuss the threats posed by Iran to Bahrain and the entire region.

The move followed a request by MP Hamad Al Dossary to discuss the issue during the weekly session, which majority of MPs approved.

MPs viewed that the incident was aimed at intimidating citizens and damaging Bahrain’s economy. 

“The Council of Representatives expresses its strong condemnation of the criminal act of terrorism which took place in the village of Buri,” a joint statement at the end of the session said. 

The statement highlighted the continuing cooperation between the legislative and executive authorities and pledged to maintain Bahrain as an “Oasis of security and stability.”

The statement also warned that all efforts will be taken to “forcefully confront every cowardly act of terrorism.”
