The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Saturday condemned the terrorist bombing attack at a police bus outside Bahrain's capital Manama, the news agency WAM reported.
In a statement, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in Abu Dhabi said that the UAE expresses its strong condemnation of these "criminal acts" and its principled rejection of all forms of violence and terrorism.
''The UAE reiterates its full support to the Kingdom of Bahrain and its steadfastness in confronting these grave crimes,'' the statement said.
The ministry offered condolences to the families of the victims, the government and people of the Kingdom of Bahrain, wishing a speedy recovery to the wounded.
The two Gulf Arab states are part of the Arab quartet which includes Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
The four allies cut diplomatic relations with Qatar on June 5 2017, accusing the fellow Gulf state of supporting "extremism" and of supporting Iran's regional policy, charges which the Qatari government has repeatedly denied.
