The United States condemns in the strongest terms the killing of Bahraini police officer Lieutenant Hisham Al-Hamadi in Bilad Al Qadeem yesterday. We extend our deepest condolences to Lieutenant Al-Hamadi’s family and to the people of Bahrain.
There can be no justification for this deplorable act of violence. We urge all concerned to condemn such violence and to do everything possible to prevent it.
