Published: 23rd February 2007
MANAMA: The Interior Ministry last night denounced as widely exaggerated the coverage of a suspected terrorist camp in Bani Jamra in some newspapers.
The ministry’s statement on the camp was based on confessions by a suspect and did not aim to condemn any person, authority or a specific area as such an incident could have taken place anywhere else in the country, a ministry source said.
He urged newspapers to be more accurate and objective while publishing any of the ministry’s announcements, and called on them to refer to official statements which are meant to inform residents on issues regarding their safety and security.
