Bahrain sacks minister in money laundering probe



A Bahraini state minister said on Monday he had been dismissed, following accusations of money laundering which he denied.

The Gulf Arab state's King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa issued a decree dismissing the minister, Mansour bin Rajab, without giving a reason, the Bahraini daily al-Wasat said on its website.

Bin Rajab, a minister of state without portfolio, confirmed his dismissal but denied the accusations.
