Molotov cocktails are to be officially outlawed under a new bill, which will now be ratified by His Majesty King Hamad, after it was passed by the Shura Council on Monday.
The law, which was passed by MPs last month, outlaws the production, possession and use of Molotov cocktails.
The government drafted the bill following the killing of 24-year-old Pakistani policeman Majid Ali Kareem Baksh by firebombers who attacked a patrol vehicle in Karzakan last month.-TradeArabia News Service
