Bahrain has arrested several suspects in connection with an explosion in the village of a Shiite spiritual leader, the ministry of interior said on Tuesday.
The blast on Sunday in Diraz, home to Ayatollah Isa Qassim and a flashpoint for violence, killed one member of the security services and wounded two others. Manama blamed it on "terrorists".
The names, nationalities and precise number of suspects arrested were not disclosed.
In a separate incident, the ministry said it had found a body from a bombing in the nearby village of Hajar.
