DUBAI, United Arab Emirates: Authorities in Bahrain say five police officers have been wounded in a bomb attack that targeted a bus in the island nation.
An Interior Ministry statement says two of those wounded have since been discharged from the hospital while the three others are in stable condition.
The attack Sunday came ahead of a court hearing Monday for cleric Sheikh Isa Qassim. He lost his citizenship in June and could be deported. Qassim’s next hearing is March 14.
