Several meetings held to carry out blast

Manama : To implement their terrorist plot, the suspects planted three IEDs on the highway the evening before the crime. According to the plan, members were tasked with detonating the devices, others with monitoring the area and one with recording the explosions.

They carried out their plot, starting with staging riots to lure the policemen. A group member (sentenced to death) took up his place atop a building and detonated the explosive device.

“The other two IEDs were not detonated as one was damaged by the first explosion and the policemen did not get close to the place where the other one had been placed,” Al Hammadi said.
