F1 security boosted after blasts in Bahrain
The attacks caused no injuries and limited damage, but sent a message that anti-government militants could step up violence before Sunday's F1, the premier international event in the kingdom.
Bahrain says it will expand security before hosting next week's Formula One race after a series of explosions, including a gas cylinder blast that set a car ablaze in the Gulf nation's financial district.
The attacks caused no injuries and limited damage, but sent a message that anti-government militants could step up violence before Sunday's F1, the premier international event in the kingdom.
Bahrain has been wracked by more than two years of unrest between the Sunni-led government and majority Shiites seeking a greater political voice.
Bahrain's Interior Ministry says the four blasts happened in quick succession late Sunday, ending with the gas canister explosion inside a stolen car in Bahrain's Financial Harbor.
Bahrain says it will provide "adequate" security to protect fans and F1 teams.
