Bahrain Mirror: The Bahraini Ministry of Interior said that it arrested 47 of "the most dangerous terrorist members". These charges are often raised against Shiite activists who seek to put an end to the Al Khalifa monopoly over power in Bahrain.
In a statement delivered by the official Bahraini television, the ministry said that "A range of highly explosive materials and firearms were seized from several secret caches in populated residential areas. In addition to the materials seized, a bomb-making facility, an explosive materials manufacturing laboratory and warehouses were discovered."
The ministry reiterated its accusations against Iran, claiming it is the one behind the organization, and that a number of the suspects received training on the handling guns and manufacturing explosives in Iranian camps.
The Bahraini regime forces had launched on Tuesday (November 3, 2015) a widespread campaign of arrests that led to taking 45 citizens into custody, according to the Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR).
