Bahrain FM Accuses Hizbullah of Killing of Policeman in Damistan

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Bahrain's Foreign Minister Khalid al-Khalifa blamed on Tuesday Hizbullah for the attack that killed a policeman in the town of Damistan, southwest of Manama.

"Another policeman falls martyr in Bahrain," he wrote on Twitter, adding: "He was killed by a bomb made by Hizbullah, the terrorist party".

The interior ministry had said Tuesday one policeman was killed in a "terrorist" attack in Damistan.

The attack occurred Monday night in Damistan, southwest of Manama, while the officer was "doing his duty", the ministry said, adding that an investigation was under way.

Security forces set up a cordon around Damistan and tightened checks on the road leading to the village, residents said.

It was the first deadly attack on the security forces since parliamentary elections in November, boycotted by the main Shiite opposition group which is calling for democratic reforms in the Sunni-ruled kingdom.

The vote was the first in the Gulf state since Sunni authorities crushed pro-democracy protests led by the majority Shiites in 2011.

The main opposition Al-Wefaq movement quickly distanced itself from the Damistan attack, reaffirming its "rejection" of violence in a statement.

Attacks against the security forces have increased this year, with three policemen, including one from the UAE, killed in a bomb attack in a Shiite area on March 3.

Another policeman was killed in a bomb attack in a Shiite village in February during protests marking the third anniversary of the protest movement.

Small but strategic Bahrain, home base of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, remains deeply divided three years after the month-long protests.

terrorists, sectarians, and criminals wherever they live. They are being trained and supplied by the lebanese party of terrorism.

Yesterday one paid houthi said" HA was naturally created as a consequence, as a natural need to protect ourselves."

Yeah, protecting yourselves by meddling in every arab country's affairs and killing innocent people in Bahrain, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria.

As we can see here, Bahrain and their Gulf states U.S coalition, wants to make a popular uprising look like it is armed, because of 1 single police officers death.

Bahrainis has been killed and massacred since 2011, we didn't hear many report from that country, including Naharnet, but as soon as the corrupted government makes a statement, then Naharnet is all on their toes defending these monarchs.

What a bunch of garbage, these oil freaks gets funnier everytime.
If the Resistance were in Bahrain, then that god forsaken monarchy would've been a military zone.

sure so far 200 000 killed in bahrein... a real massacre that is!
oh! by the way do you know why some bahreinis revolt? i guess not, just because they are supported by hezbollah you support them LOL

syrian revolt = they are terrorists, bahreinis revolt: they are resistants! the world seen by hezbollahis!!!

You seem to forget, that the Bahraini uprising are unarmed, and yes I believe thousands of people in Bahrain has died, and that the monarchy are holding those death tolls secret.

About Syria, that started as a call for reform, until the takfiris from the outside world, intervened, and killed both protesters and security forces.

That is the true story. Not your Saudi garbage

1/ i do not have saudi garbage to feed you, you seem to feed yourself easily...
2/ syrian revolt was also unarmed if you remember... your friend bashar radicalized it by not wanting to meet their demands...and to appear the victim he encouraged islamist radicalism but did not expect it to come out of control thus the recourse to hezbollah!
3/ bahrein is also a struggle for civil rights denied by the regime... but you support them but spit on the syrians... double hezbi standards!
4/ bahreinis do not want to oust the regime but to reform it but you hezbis make it a chia sunni struggle which is not the case... their demands are also to be met AS in syria, but you hezbis do not syrians to be free , only bahreinis... pityful you

No peace, this is where you are wrong once again. The Resistance actually supported the reforms for the Syrian people, everything went bad, when the M14 saudi sponsored takfiris from aboard, came into Syria illegally, and started creating chaos & havoc.

Now after 4 years of unrest, the people wants to go back to the way things were. With the reforms included, why else do you think there was a massive line of voters, in Lebanon going to the Syrian embassy to vote for Assad? They still want him in power.

The takfiris however, are getting extremely unpopular.

"The Resistance actually supported the reforms for the Syrian people,"

yes but not the syrians themselves...
millions of libyans also supported their leader ... out of fear...like in any dictatorship: revise your history , it is ALWAYS the same pattern in any dictature: all the people support the leader... out of fear....

And for your M14 sponsored propaganda, i advise you to check and educate yourself in that matter instead of repeating el manar....

and as any hezbi brainwashed fanatic, you still put all the opposing syrians into the bag of takfirism to justify assad and hezbollah massacres : here again educate yourself...

guess you have a lot of homework now LOL

Your love for monarchies is obvious.
