MANAMA: Bahrain is working in tandem with security forces in Syria and the UK to bring to book those behind the National Day terror plot, it was revealed yesterday.

Investigations are continuing here and abroad, Interior Minister Shaikh Rashid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa told MPs and Shura members.

Fourteen Bahrainis were arrested after police uncovered a plan to attack targets including the club, Manama nightspots, Exhibition Road and the Diplomatic Area, on December 17, during the National Day holiday.

They have all allegedly admitted receiving extensive training in Syria in how to make weapons and use explosives, in a conspiracy allegedly directed by two Bahrainis living in London and others in Bahrain. More revelations related to the plot will be made public once investigations are complete.
