Bahrain Mirror: A Bahraini court started considering a case of 3 political detainees accused of putting a locally made bomb on King Fahd Causeway in 2013, according to the authorities narrative.

A local newspaper said that the first and second suspects are already serving a 15-year jail verdict over other cases, noting that they are stripped of their citizenships.

The authorities said that the suspects admitted during investigations that they manufactured a locally made bomb at the direction of martyr Rida Al-Ghasra after smuggling explosive substances and using some locally made equipment to manufacture the bombs in Bani Jamra. The explosive was put in a black bag on King Fahd Causeway.

The court decided to postpone the case to March 27 for pleading and to inform the third suspect.
