MANAMA, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- Bahraini bodybuilder Sami Al-Haddad and his friend as well as one fisherman returned to Bahrain on Friday after several days of detention in Qatar, said a Bahraini Foreign Ministry statement.

The Foreign Ministry thanked Oman for its efforts to help with the release of the three Bahraini citizens detained in Qatar.

"The Ministry considers the release of Bahraini citizens by the competent Qatari authorities a step that reflects the required spirit to complete addressing the pending issues between the two countries in order to enhance cooperation between the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) states," the Ministry said in the statement.

Bahrain has taken the statements of the three citizens for possible legal proceedings against Doha. Enditem
