Two men were killed and at least five policemen left injured in two blasts caused by home-made bombs, Bahrain police said Saturday .

A makeshift bomb went off in a car in Maqsha village, killing two people and injuring as many, Xinhua quoted the interior ministry as saying, adding that two charred bodies were found inside the car.

A few hours later, police announced that a homemade bomb was detonated on Janabiya Road, injuring the civil defence personnel who were extinguishing burning tires.

"Three civil defence members sustained multiple injuries and one admitted to hospital for treatment while several others were treated on site for minor injuries," the ministry said.
