Bahrain’s
parliament condemned Qatar’s interception of two coastguard boats in its
territorial waters, Al-Arabiya TV reported.
The
Kingdom added that Qatar’s actions threaten the region’s security and
stability, calling on the country to respect international laws and decisions
of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
Three
Qatari coastguard vessels stopped two Bahraini coastguard boats that were
returning after taking part in a maritime exercise on Wednesday.
The
Bahraini vessels were then allowed to go, Bahrain's interior ministry said in a
statement.
The state
said it would notify the GCC and hoped the incident, which took place at 1
p.m., would not be repeated.
