Bahraini police have arrested 116 people over allegations of links to terrorism as the ruling Al Khalifah regime presses ahead with its heavy-handed clampdown on political dissidents, Press TV reported.
An official statement on Bahrain’s state news agency BNA said on Saturday that regime forces had detained 116 members of a “terror" cell and thwarted a number of attacks across the country and seized large quantities of arms and explosives.
The statement claimed that the suspects had links with Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC). Iran denies supporting any bid to overthrow the Bahraini government.
