“This unprecedented strange incident amounts to a real terrorist act.”

This is how Col. Al Musallam described what happened last night when “Masked gang sets shop ablaze.” GDN, Bahrain Tribune and Akhbar Al Khaleej; all published the story with more or less the same vague description. It makes you feel worried that this attack really amounts to terror act.

Only after I read it in Alwasat, I got the full picture. It was an American movie style robbery. Using sticks to beat employees , molotov cocktails and petrol-filled container to set the shop on fire, and finally a punch of thousand dinars stolen before running away from this “liqueur store.” The last two factors (money and alcohol) were not mentioned in all other newspapers.

Although I believe that any crime = terror act, but honestly I was relieved from the reflections drawn by GDN, Bahrain Tribune and Akhbar Al Khaleej. Specially with so many terror acts in neighboring Gulf countries.

I hate to jump into conclusions, but terrorist could have killed everyone in that shop (all of customer would be fringes and Kuffar) as they usually do, then paint it with Islam. But it looks to be only another robbery, which looks to be in rise these days in Bahrain.

May God forbid any terror acts on Bahrain (and the rest of the world).
