Bahrain detains 22 over unrest
Bahrain has rounded up 22 people suspected of attacking security forces and blocking roads during protests, including in the lead-up to its Formula One race this month, police said.
The arrests were made in Shiite villages and were related to alleged acts of violence since late February, said a police statement carried late Saturday by BNA state news agency.
In one of the arrests, police detained six people suspected of participating in a March 7 "terrorist attack" on police patrols in the village of Maqaba, west of the capital Manama, it said, adding security forces were still searching for other suspects.
