Commenting on this afternoon’s bomb attack in Bahrain, FCO Minister of State for the Middle East, Hugh Robertson, said:

“The British Government condemns the bomb attack that killed three policemen in Al Daih, Bahrain this afternoon. I offer my sincere condolences to all those affected.

Violence has no place in constructive dialogue, reconciliation and reform, which HM the King and Crown Prince are pursuing and which the vast majority of Bahrainis support.”
