Manama, July 5 (BNA): The Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs denounced the acts of violence, terrorism and extremism targeting innocent people and threatening the nations’ security. It condemned the hideous terror blast in East Eker in Bahrain and the terror explosions which happened near the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina, in Jeddah and in Qateef without any consideration to the sacredness of the place, the holy month of Ramadan, the last ten days of Ramadan and the advent of Eid Al Fitr.
