(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The Bahraini Interior Ministry said that the attack was carried out on Saturday evening in the al-Diar area on the island of Muharraq, northeast of the capital, Manama.
Describing the blast as ‘an act of terror,’ the officials said that two policemen suffered serious injuries but are in stable condition.
No group has claimed responsibility for the bombing.
Bahrainis have been staging demonstrations since mid-February 2011, demanding political reform and a constitutional monarchy. However, the demand changed to an outright call for the ouster of the ruling Al Khalifa regime following its brutal crackdown on popular protests.
Scores have been killed, many of them under torture while in custody, and thousands more detained since the popular uprising began.
Protesters say they will continue holding anti-regime demonstrations until their demand for the establishment of a democratically-elected government and an end to rights violations are met.
Bahrain is home to the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet.
