Terror cell trial begins

The High Criminal Court yesterday began hearing the case of 12 men accused of forming a terrorist cell. The cell is said to have aimed to destabilize Bahrain’s peace and spread fear among citizens.

The accused men, including seven fugitives and four in the police custody, are said to have received training on using weapons and assembling them in Iran and other countries.

Four members of the terror cell were allegedly moving between Iran and Iraq to recruit new members in order to carry out their terrorist plots. It’s reported that the seventh defendant managed to recruit several members for the cell after he returned from Iraq.
