(MENAFN- Arab Times) His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah sent a cable of condolences to his brother King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, of Bahrain, over the terrorist attack that hit in Karranah village, north Manama, on Friday evening. On behalf of the State of Kuwait, His Highness the Amir strongly condemned the bomb attack that killed a Bahraini policeman and wounded several others.
He expressed Kuwait's full solidarity with the sisterly Kingdom of Bahrain and support to whatever measures the Kingdom might take to protect its security and stability.
His Highness the Amir prayed for Almighty God to lodge the martyr policeman in heaven, bestow quick recovery on the wounded, and protect Bahrain from all evils.

His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al- Sabah sent a similar cable.
Four police officers were among the injured, one of them seriously, Information Minister Isa Abdulrahman Al Hammadi told AFP. Two parents and their child were also hurt in the blast in Karanah suburb, he said. The minister said the explosives used in the apparent bomb attack was "very similar" to that seized by authorities last month which "came from Iran". In July, Bahraini authorities declared they had foiled an attempt to smuggle weapons from Iran. A few days later, two police officers were killed and six others injured in a bomb attack on Sitra island outside Manama.
Bahraini authorities said earlier this month they had arrested five suspects over the attack. Police chief Major General Tariq al- Hasan said the suspects had links to Iran's Revolutionary Guards and the Iranbacked Shiite militant movement Hezbollah. Sunni-ruled Bahrain frequently accuses Iran, a Shiite power, of backing demands by members of the kingdom's Shiite majority for political reforms.
The tiny but strategic US ally has seen frequent unrest since a Shiite-led uprising four years ago demanding a constitutional monarchy.
