Authorities in Bahrain have apprehended a "dangerous terrorist" who was involved in the bombing of a police bus in October, which killed one policeman and injured nine others.

The Bahrain News Agency, BNA, reported that another accomplice escaped to Iran during arrest efforts, adding that the attack on the bus was one of a series of terrorist crimes that were planned and executed by a cell linked to Iran-based terror fugitives and closely connected to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.

"The disruption of the terror cell foiled a major plot to target public personalities in Bahrain and launch attacks with explosives on three oil pipelines," said BNA.

Members of the terror cell had received intensive training at camps run by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, where they were taught how to use guns and operate explosives. "The Iranian Revolutionary Guards funded the cell and provided logistical support through the Iran-based fugitives," it added.

"The investigation to find and arrest the remaining terrorists is ongoing," the agency said.
