Sheikh Rashid bin Abdullah al-Khalifa, the Minister of Interior said that the blast is the latest example of a terrorist act carried out by people in direct contact with, and under instructions from, Iran.
On 11 November, Manama said that a civil defence team, and Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO)'s security and safety team, had successfully extinguished the fire. The director general Civil Defence, Brigadier Abdulaziz Rashid al-Ammer said 21 vehicles and 78 personnel were sent to control the fire.
