Bahrain Jails 6 People to 10 Years over Attack
[An Nahar] A Bahraini court sentenced six people to 10 years in prison on Wednesday after they were convicted of carrying out a bombing that maimed two people, the official BNA news agency reported.
The group were accused of "setting tires ablaze using a gas cylinder to create as much damage as possible to public and private property," public prosecution chief Muhanna al-Shayji was quoted as saying.
They are also charged with "intentionally causing a fire for terrorist aims that maimed" a woman and her son.
The statement did not say where or when the bombing took place, but judicial sources said the attack was in 2012.
