The Bahrainis, aged 20 and 26, have gone on trial at the High Crim- inal Court for possessing unlicensed weapons, explosives and making homemade bombs. They were arrested after their fingerprints were lifted off explosive materials found at an abandoned house in A’ali, which police believe was used as warehouse to store weapons for rioters. A police detective said he received information from criminal informants about the weapons depot which con- sisted of two bombs, a gun, bullets, 100 Molotov cocktails, six modified fire-extinguishers that launch metal rods, 100 metal rods and flammable chemicals. Investigation “Secret sources and investigation led us to the house in A’ali which was used as a weapons depot by terrorists,” he said in his statement to the Public Prosecution. “These weapons and homemade explosives were used by terrorists to attack policemen and they were going to be used in further terrorist attacks. “A K9 unit searched the house for explosives before we entered and confiscated the explosive materials n The wrecked car after the crash on Al Quds Highway.
