Iran strongly rejects Bahrain’s allegations about ties with bombing suspects

TEHRAN (FNA)- The Iranian foreign ministry denied Bahrain’s claims about relations between Tehran and the bombing suspects detained in the tiny Arab country recently.

Bahrain’s interior ministry said on Tuesday that the country has arrested two men suspected of planting a bomb that killed a Bahraini woman in late June, alleging that they had received training and support from Iran.

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi described the Bahraini interior ministry’s statement as “redundant, baseless and a lie” and a “worn-out and extinct method”.

He called on the Bahraini government to take lessons from the similar fruitless measures taken in the past and find the root causes of their internal problems instead of repeating such baseless accusations and adopting useless approaches.

“Unfortunately, the Bahraini government raises such fake and rejected claims in an attempt to project the blame on others for its internal conflicts and escape accountability to the public opinion,” Qassemi said.

Since February 14, 2011, thousands of anti-regime protesters have held numerous demonstrations in Bahrain on an almost daily basis, calling on the Al Khalifah family to relinquish power.

In March that year, troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, themselves repressive Arab regimes, were deployed to the country to assist the Bahraini government in its crackdown on peaceful protests.

Scores of people have been killed and hundreds of others injured or arrested in the Bahraini crackdown on the anti-regime activists.
