Terror convict’s sentence upheld

The High Appeals Court has upheld the life in prison sentence issued against a Bahraini man, who was part of the team, which made an improvised bomb and detonated it in Abu Saiba.

The explosion on February 24, 2017, had left a police officer injured apart from causing damages to a police vehicle and a mosque’s windows. According to prosecutors, the defendant had the intention to murder police officers, therefore he decided to make the bomb with the help of other unknown men.

He used Telegram to communicate with other terrorists in order to get their help in constructing the bomb and detonate it. “I talked with two men and revealed to them my wish of killing police officers. They agreed with me to make the bomb and we made one.
