Manama, Rabi'I 26, 1437, Jan 6, 2016, SPA -- Bahrain's Ministry of Interior announced today that a terrorist plot to carry out a series of bombings within Bahrain has been foiled by security authorities. Investigations that led to the arrest of the leaders and members of the terrorist group, named as the Al-Basta Group, also found that the group received financial and logistical support from Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRG) and Hezbollah. Security authorities’ investigations found connections between members of the Al-Basta Group and the Saraya Al-Ashar terrorist group, whose members have previously been convicted of terror attacks within Bahrain. The Al-Basta Group has also been found to hold links with suspects involved in a Sitra bombing on 28 July 2015, which resulted in the death of two policemen and caused injuries to six others. --SPA 20:34 LOCAL TIME 17:34 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
