Bahrain's attorney general on Thursday (August 30th) said 13 people have been charged with terrorism offenses, over suspected ties to an anti-government protest movement that first emerged in 2011, AFP reported.
"Charges of forming and funding a terrorist cell have been filed against six persons in custody and another seven charged in absentia," said attorney general Ahmad al-Hamadi.
The group will also face charges of targeting police in a trial which is due to open on September 19th.
Bahrain accuses Iran of supporting terror groups in the country, but Tehran denies involvement.
