15 people it accuses of attempting to "cause chaos" during Shia religious commemorations that culminated last Thursday, police said.

Officers detained "15 vandals for indulging in abusive activities to cause chaos" over the 10 days of Ashura with funding from Iran, a police statement said late Tuesday.

It did not give further details of the alleged offences during the commemorations, which mark the seventh century killing of Imam Husain, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (PTUI!), the decisive event in the split between the two branches of the Moslem faith.

Police released the names and photographs of the 15 detainees, all of them apparently young.

The statement alleged that the accused had received funds from Iran through Bahraini political exiles.
