The Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked diplomats on Monday to leave Iraq and return to Bahrain.

Last week, the ministry made similar call for Bahrainis in Iraq to leave the country. It also urged them to avoid travelling to Iraq. The call was made for their safety until security is back to normal. Many Bahrainis travel to Iraq frequently to visit holy places, mainly to Karbala and Najaf.
