Bahrain Uncovers 'Terrorist Cell' Linked to Hizbullah, Iran
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Bahrain announced on Wednesday that it has discovered a “terrorist cell” linked to Hizbullah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, reported al-Arabiya television.
It said that the cell was plotting to carry out bombings in the country.
The cell was headed by twins Ali and Mohammed Fakhrwari, it continued.
Bahrain News Agency said that Ali Fakhrawi and two others had traveled to Iran and Lebanon at the end of 2011 to demand financial aid from Tehran and Hizbullah.
“They met in Beirut's southern suburbs of Dahieh with Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and his deputy Sheikh Naim Qassem, where they proposed to them the idea of 'reviving' an Islamic movement,” it added.
“They requested financial assistance to carry out their terrorist activity in Bahrain and they received encouragement from Nasrallah, who also gave them 20,000 dollars for their cause,” said the news agency.
“Ali Fakhrawi traveled in mid-2015 to Iran, where he met members of the revolutionary guards, and later Lebanon where he met Qassem, who provided further support to his organization and other related terrorist groups,” it reported.
The head of the cell is a fugitive residing in Iran, while Bahraini authorities succeeded in arresting six of its members, said al-Arabiya.
Hizbullah and Bahrain's relation has witnessed tension since the beginning of a 2011 uprising in the kingdom as the party became a strong advocate of the popular protests.
Ties between Lebanon and Bahrain reached an all-time low in 2011 when Nasrallah slammed the crackdown on the protesters.
His remarks prompted the Bahraini authorities to suspend the flights of Gulf Air and Bahraini Air between Manama and Beirut for several months.
Tensions between Hizbullah and Bahrain continued through 2015 with the Gulf Cooperation Council condemning in January 2015 Nasrallah remarks on the country as “incitement to violence and discord.”

Your model is wahabism and zionism humble, you are acting as a moderate like Mostaqbal but in reality you follow the Saudi regime that butchers innocent clerics that only wants freedom for their people, and the poorest country in the Middle East Yemen your wahabis bomb everday.
While you Mostaqbal and Lebanese Cowards party gives umbrella protection to Saudi drug princes flying into Lebanon.

The Resistance does not act anything else than they are texas, that is the difference between them and the lying tongues of Mostaqbal indeed.
Never trust the two faced people, the Resistance are more moderate than Mostaqbal, it is Hezbollah fighters protecting christian churches and crosses in Syria now the Mostaqbal tie wearing wahabis.

Not the mostaqbal tie wearing wahabis, what do they do for Lebanon other than build complexes on poor peoples lands and capitalist agendas?

I do not see Vilayat i Faqih implemented anything in the Lebanese constitution, so where are you trying to head with that Mr. texas?
Just because most of the Lebanese muslim population in Lebanon follows it does not make it a national obligation.
That is the difference indeed between ISIS and the Resistance, ISIS wants to force everyone into their religion, the Resistance follows their own religion and does not force convert others in Lebanon I would like to see you bring any evidence of that too.

ISIS and Saudi Arabias plus all the Gulf nations religion is Wahabism/Salafism.

Yes the Christians in Iraq were wiped out by Al Qaeda in Iraq, now called "Islamic State".
Just like the few Christians in Iraq did again in year 2014, when ISIS made their advance.

We all want a President for Lebanon, and it is General Aoun that is desired.
That March 14 can't accept that, is the reason for the void, because we want a Lebanese Resistance loving President and not a Saudi stooge.

1agonytexas, You always try to turn things around to divert attention from Saudi sponsored Al Qaeda/ISIS.

Ah! Here goes momo and his brilliant comment!
But I guess the authorities of Thailand have a great imagination as well, as they do in Cyprus, in Nigeria, in Columbia, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Bulgaria, etc, etc, etc.... yeah... they are all high... Ebola are saints! No doubt!

this terrorist cell in bahrain is a figment of the imagination so is hezbollah fighting in syria, so is the cell in egypt, so is the cell in thailand, bulgaria, south america, kuwait and keep counting. The shias know what is happening but they were brought up to deny.

If you all wonder why Gulf countries always are in paranoia about the Resistance, just read our fellow march 14 friends comments in here.
Even though there are no Hezbollah in both Yemen and Bahrain, they believe all places around them are surrounded by it.

Well you just like your Wahabi masters, really wants a Sunni-Shia conflict in the Middle East, when in reality it is Wahabism against the whole world.
And we even see the your old Western allies realizing that the Saud Regime is indeed the bad guys, we saw countries such as Germany and Denmark condemning the murder of Sheikh Nimr.
Many Western countries are even realizing that Iran is not the bad wolf anymore as the Americans said, it is indeed Americas close ally the Saud Wahabi regime.

It is not unusual for this terrorist iranian to plot terror in the gulf region.

@mystic
And your terrorist "party of God" is not killing innocent people in Syria, didn't kill innocent people in Bulgaria, and didn't kill innocent people in Beirut Harriri bombings. You f-ing shee3a are something else. All the problems in the region are from you and your khara Hassan nasrallah I spit on him and khamieni you are dirt like the dirt on my shoes after working in a construction zone all day. You're true colours are being exposed. Israel just killed one do yours, Saudi just killed a shiekh which is one of yours. Do you not notice you are going down!!!! And every country is against you and no one backing you NOT EVEN RUSSIA... They allowed Israel in to bomb one of yours Lolll

The tactic of implantation and imposing; Why do you act like this is something new? It's been the tactic of Iran for ages besides pushing narcotics into various Sunni/Christian countries for ages now, look at Lebanon. But of course we'll sweep that under the rug and ignore it, which is what they want ;).

Southern - "the one which Liberated Lebanon from occupation"
Thank you, thank you. For what?
For finally admitting that Lebanon is liberated from occupation, and your learning the truth about the UN decision that Shaaba Farms are not Lebanese territory, is accepted by you.

Aaaaahhh... so they did a partial job then, but you find this admirable? Why do they have a "liberation day" yearly commemoration then?

Oh you poor guy, I've spoken plenty with your high Shia counterparts of the years, and it was told in full detail. Secondly Hezbollah is the largest captagon manufacturers, and even before this it's been used as a tactic for years now to manipulate the population. Lots of dirty games on both sides of the extremism spectrum. I just hope you're happy that because of your careless and outright deceiving tactics have now destroyed yet another generation all just to push your ideology throughout the region.

Very mature response Movaten, as usual your group and others would rather walk around in dirty lies and games just to make themselves feel significant. I honestly feel sorry for you, your fake accounts, and outright passive-aggressive behavior. Nice work.

I'm answering you at the same level you use.
Things like "I've spoken plenty with your high Shia counterparts of the years, and it was told in full detail" to back your propaganda against hezbollah is laughable and not worthy of a serious answer.

southern, i take it then that your 6 comments on this article are all pro the Bahrain government and that is why naharnet did not delete them. Add to that the garbage of your friends mowaten and mystic and the rest of the trolls.

LOL @justin. His first comment was a direct attack on Al Khalifa and was posted 4 hours ago and is still here, yet he has the audacity to say naharnet is removing posts opposed to the Bahraini government. Hopeless case.....

@ all Northern, Mastica, Not-mowaten & co
You know what? No you don't, but I am going to tell you. There are zero zionists on this blog, but you keep talking about zionists as if you wanted to free yourself from something that is inside you.
True that you have the same dictatorship manners and brainwashed ideologies, which to an external observer might appear as a cousin to zionism. It is a possibility that your close neighbouring with them could have transmitted you the virus.
It is also a possibility that you are jealous and want to adopt their criminal manners.
I tell you, there are psychiatric treatments for that

I would be more than happy to have negative consideration from you. Since you are a traitor to Lebanon (below zero patriotism = fact is that you are sold to the outside) X negative consideration EQUALS VERY positive mark (for me) which I might not deserve...

To my knowledge, the South is adjacent to the Zionist entity (more than the Keserwan is) and because of this neighbouring you have acquired exactly the same racist, dictatorship, totalitarianist attitudes and behaviours.
In addition : Never forget that everyone knows your plans for Lebanon as declared in Iran 3 months ago...
