Saudi Gazette report

MANAMA — Bahrain has lauded the efficiency and vigilance of Saudi Arabia's Presidency of State Security for busting a terrorist cell that had received training from Iran's Revolutionary Guards and managing to seize their weapons and explosives, the Bahrain News Agency reported late Monday.

"Bahrain aligns itself with Saudi Arabia against all those who try to undermine its security and stability, stressing its absolute solidarity with the Kingdom in every measure it takes to defend its interests and preserve the safety of its citizens and residents," Bahrain's foreign ministry said in a statement.

The ministry strongly condemned the role of Iran in training and arming these terrorist elements and its sustained hostile approach aimed at destabilizing the security and stability of the Kingdom, and endangering the safety of its innocent people, in contradiction with the principles of good neighborliness stipulated in the United Nations Charter.

It also emphasized the need for the international community to take firm measures against Iran and its hostile actions, which pose a serious threat to regional security and peace.
