A bombing in a Bahrain town home to a prominent Shi’ite cleric has killed one police officer and wounded two.

Bahrain's Interior Ministry announced the death in Diraz early Monday, blaming “terrorists” for the attack in a post on Twitter.

The February 14 Youth Coalition, which has claimed attacks in the past, posted a video online it said showed its masked members throwing gasoline bombs at police gathered near the home of Shi’ite cleric Isa Qassim.
