Explosion in Bahrain

A bomb exploded last night at approximately midnight near the British Embassy in Bahrain. There were no injuries and the building was not damaged. The bomb blast was around 50 meters from the main building. The bomb was planted on a minibus near the embassy's fence and an investigation is underway. It is still uncertain how large the bomb was, although it did blow a wheel off of the minivan. It is also unknown whether or not the embassy was the intended target.

Some believe that it may have been in response to last week's developments in Iran. The explosion comes just days after protestors in stormed the British Embassy in Tehran.
