Bahrain Minister Describes Hizbullah as 'Militia,' Accuses it of 'Terrorism'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Bahrain's Information Minister Samira Rajab accused Hizbullah on Saturday of “extremism” and "terrorism," describing it as a “terrorist militia.”
“Hizbullah is clearly present in Manama,” the minister said in comments published in the Saudi al-Watan newspaper.
Rajab revealed that an opposition figure headed to Lebanon recently and held talks with Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
She noted that this “proves” that Hizbullah is meddling in Bahrain's affairs.
Hizbullah has been a strong advocate of the popular protests in Bahrain that began in 2011.
Ties between Lebanon and Bahrain reached an all-time low in 2011 when Nasrallah slammed the crackdown on the protestors.
His remarks prompted the Bahraini authorities to suspend the flights of Gulf Air and Bahraini Air between Manama and Beirut for several months.
Rajab told the daily that the protests in Bahrian are linked to an “Iranian agenda.”
“The monarchy in Bahrain is a red line,” the minister pointed out.
She considered that “the violence and chaos in the country are due to links between local groups and the Iranian regime.”
“The people of Bahrain reject any direct interference in the Syrian situation,” Rajab said over the crisis in Syria.
Iran, Syria, and their ally Hizbullah are considered as the “axis of resistance” in the region.

Bahrain supports Islamists, Wahabiism, salafists and above all the leaders of Terrorism Al Qaeda. PLease clean your dirty mouth you mole when you mention any Lebanese Group and more particularly Hezbollah. Hezbollah ya habibte is the Pride of Lebanon. Kindly note, the Lebanese thanks to Hezbollah defetead the Zionist Israeli state in a month of war and released all Lebanese from Israeli jails. All Israel could do is kill 1000 Lebanese civilians in return and bomb roads, bridges and electricity grids in order to DIVIDE the Lebanese. And you Bahrainis are no different. You are a disgrace to the Arabs, along with Qatar & Saudi Arabia. You have killed our fellow Muslims and are the cause for their division today. This division has been unwitnessed in nearly half a decade. But thanks to the Qatari, Saudi & Bahraini interests in Gas/Oil sales to Europe they have cause such turmoil! You will fail and so you will miserably.

Yes, your are right the other side is carrying the Saudi will, which helps most of the Lebanese in the Gulf who don't care about politics to keep their jobs, rather than having it the other way around. Just check during the last two years how many Lebanese shia families have been kicked out of Bahrain and the UAE becoming all of sudden jobless...The day the color of your passport will turn yellow, your choice will be very limited if you wish to pursue a career abroad. A fact you have to admit, whether you like it or not.
