Al-Ashtar Brigades (AAB) is a Shia militant group supported by Iran which aims to overthrow Bahrain's Sunni monarchy. AAB was established in 2013 and has incited violence towards the Bahraini leadership. AAB has claimed responsibility for several bombings targeting security forces, including the February 14, 2014, attack on a minibus carrying police officers, which wounded several individuals; and the March 3, 2014, improvised explosive device attack which killed three policemen and injured several others. AAB also claimed responsibility for the killing of an off-duty police officer near Bahrain's capital city, Manama, on January 29, 2017. In 2019, AAB vowed to target American and British interests in Bahrain. On February 3, 2021, Bahrain security services foiled a bomb plot by alleged AAB affiliates. In May 2024, AAB claimed it launched a drone attack against the Israeli company Trucknet, representing the first time the Bahraini contingent of Iran's axis of resistance has actively taken part in the conflict against Israel.
