Manama : The policeman who was killed in a terrorist explosion in Diraz on Sunday was laid to rest yesterday. Hundreds attended the funeral of Abdul Samad Haji, 31, at Hunainiya Graveyard in West Riffa.
Haji was killed and two other policemen suffered multiple injuries when the police patrol vehicle they were travelling in was targeted by a bomb near one of the entrances to Diraz village on Sunday night.
A reliable source told DT News that the injured policemen are in critical condition.
“The martyr just got his family to Bahrain only a few days ago and it is really unfortunate that he is no more,” the source, who wished not to be named, added.
The blast happened almost a month after a major security operation was carried out in Diraz to disperse an illegal gathering inside the village that lasted for more than 11 months.
Five individuals were killed and more than 30 policemen were injured in the operation, which resulted in the arrest of more than 280 people including escaped convicts and wanted terrorists.
