MANAMA: Two people, including a Jordanian policeman, were killed in bomb blasts in villages of Bahrain, officials said Tuesday.

An explosion in Karzakan on Tuesday killed a Bahraini and slightly wounded an Asian national, the Interior Ministry said, describing it as a “terrorist” attack.

Witnesses said the bomb was planted on a corner of the road under a tree.

Late on Monday, a separate attack in Damistan, a nearby village, killed a policeman, the authorities said.

Police chief Maj. Gen. Tariq Al-Hassan named the victim as Ali Mohamed Ali, a Jordanian, saying the “homemade device was detonated remotely.”

The policeman was working in the kingdom under “a security and training exchange agreement between Bahrain and Jordan,” he said.
