Bomb in Bahrain interesting yeah ..


Manama, Bahrain - Bahrain's leading Shiite opposition group on Monday warned of possible unrest surrounding the verdict in the case of 19 youths accused of a 2008 bomb attack that killed a policeman.
"We don't want to see security deteriorate before or after the hearing, and we don't want to have new victims, opening the door for a security crisis that benefits no one," Sheikh Ali Salman, secretary general of the Al Wefaq Islamic Society said.
Hamad Town, Bahrain - Several cars were damaged when an apparently homemade bomb exploded in a suburb of Hamad Town, south of the Bahraini capital Manama, early on Tuesday.
The blast, in which no injuries were reported, was the latest in a series of violent incidences after more than 20 opposition figures and some 200 supporters were arrested on August 13.
All those detained are Shiites, who have openly called for a boycott of next month elections and refuse to recognize the country's constitution that was adopted in 2002.
The government has claimed that they are part of a terrorist network which was seeking to overthrow the monarchy.
Opposition groups, as well as local and international human rights organizations have expressed concern over the condition of the detainees and the status of civic freedoms
