Bahraini security officers were able to capture and arrest 25 individuals belonging to a terror cell.

Bahrain said on Saturday that it has uncovered what it called a terrorist cell and arrested 25 individuals so far with 16 others charged in absentia, Al Arabiya News Channel has reported.

The cell has been said to have carried out at least six operations inside the tiny island Gulf kingdom.

“The terrorist cell planned to assassinate security forces in Bahrain with coordination from Iran,” sources told Al Arabiya News Channel.

Several weapons, home-made explosive devices and munitions were also found when a security operation to arrest individuals belonging to cell were carried out.

A source told Al Arabiya English that one of the members arrested confessed that they have been receiving instructions from a leader in Germany who has been organizing their travel in and out of the country from Iran and Iraq.
