Bahrain jails 4 for life for Iran-linked assassination cell

A Bahraini court sentenced four Shiite Muslims to life and six others to 15 years in jail on charges of setting up a militant cell linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard that aimed at assassinating public figures in the Gulf Arab kingdom.

In February, Bahrain, a Western ally which hosts the US Fifth Fleet, accused Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard of setting up the "terror" cell, which it said planned to attack its airport and government buildings. (Reuters)
