29 December, 2011 – UPI

MANAMA, Bahrain, Dec. 29 (UPI) — Eight defendants accused of plotting terror attacks on the Saudi Embassy in Bahrain and other key sites will go on trial next month, prosecutors said.

Nawaf Hamza, Bahrain’s head of public prosecution, said the defendants were part of a terror cell that planned to target the Saudi Embassy, the Interior Ministry building and the King Fahad Causeway, which is the country’s only land link to neighboring Saudi Arabia, Gulf News reported Thursday.

The alleged terrorists were arrested in November by Qatar at its border with Saudi Arabia and turned over to Bahrain authorities. They face espionage and terror charges. The trial is scheduled to begin Jan. 9.

Hamza said documents obtained during a criminal investigation revealed organizational plans and instructions for making bombs, the newspaper said. ..source
