Dubai: A Bahraini court on Tuesday suspended the main opposition Al-Wefaq group pending a verdict on dissolving it altogether, the justice ministry said, accusing the Shiite bloc of breaking the law.

The court also ordered Al-Wefaq's offices closed and its funds frozen, a ministry statement published by the official Bahrain News Agency (BNA) said.
