Bahrain's Interior Ministry says it has dismantled an alleged terrorist cell following widespread clashes in the Gulf nation during protests marking the second anniversary of an Arab Spring-inspired uprising.
The ministry said in a statement Sunday it has arrested eight members of a suspected terrorist network who have received training and financial support from Iran, Iraq and Lebanon.
Bahrain's Sunni-ruled kingdom has frequently accused Shi'ite power Iran and its allies of aiding the uprising of Bahrain's majority Shi'ites. Iran denies the charges.
