-Two policemen in Bahrain were killed and several injured in a terrorist attack that the tiny nation says was engineered by Iran.
Last weekend, the government of Bahrain announced they had intercepted a shipment of explosives and weapons from Iran.  Two Bahraini nationals confessed to being the conduit for the weapons, and the explosives used in yesterday’s attack matched those smuggled into the country.
The latest attack comes just days after Bahraini authorities said they had foiled an arms smuggling plot linked to Iran.
Two Bahrainis were arrested after they admitted receiving a shipment of explosives, automatic weapons and ammunition from Iranian handlers, officials said.
Bahrain’s government has previously accused Iran of supporting Shia militants in the kingdom.
It also recalled its ambassador to Tehran on Saturday, over “hostile comments” by Iranian leaders.
The explosion in Sitrah is the latest in a series of blasts that have targeted police in villages with a predominately Shia population.
Roads leading into the town were blocked by officers, as the wounded were taken to hospital.
Bahrain has long been on Iran’s target list, largely because of its Shia majority, but also because of its strategic position in the Persan Gulf.  It’s made up of 30 islands off the coast of Saudi Arabia in the Gulf and has immense oil wealth.
