Saudi Arabian Interior Ministry announced on May 9 that a vehicle entering that country from Bahrain was smuggling in explosives that were promptly confiscated.
Al-Arabiya Al-Hadath website based in Dubai reported on May 11 that the vehicle was entering Saudi Arabia via the King Fahd Bridge that connects the two countries. Saudi customs detected the explosives and arrested the culprits. The vehicle was a Ford Fusion and it was carrying more than 30 kilograms of RDX, a highly explosive material, under its back seat. There were also 25 explosive capsules with 6 meter long wicks ready to use.
In a successful cooperation between the two countries, Bahrain arrested five suspects in this plot. Asharq al-Awsat reported on May 10 that Bahrain’s Interior Ministry arrested the suspects once they were identified.
Major General Tareq al-Hassan, Bahraini Chief of Public Security Department explained that in the search conducted on the houses of the arrestees, material suspicious of being explosive, mobile phones, laptops, digital equipment and cameras, contacts with Iran, as well as Saudi, Jordanian and Iranian currencies, were confiscated.
Saudi Arabia has been leading a coalition fighting the Houthis in Yemen. Iranian mullahs have repeatedly threatened the Saudis for their initiative in Yemen. An Iranian official had threatened that if explosions take place in the capitals of countries supporting the Decisive Storm Operation, these countries would abandon their support for the war in Yemen.
