| Bahrain Parliament Labels Hizbullah 'Terrorist Organization' in Urgent Bill |
| 2013-03-27 |
| [An Nahar] Bahrain's parliament approved on Tuesday in an unprecedented step an urgent proposal to label Hizbullah a terrorist organization, calling on the cabinet to coordinate with the country's Foreign Ministry and with its counterparts in the Gulf Cooperation Council's nations to put the suggestion in force. The proposal was referred to the cabinet after it succeeded in receiving a majority vote at the parliament. "I demand the FM to collaborate with the GCC countries to crush Hizbullah," Salafist politician Jassim al-Saeedi stated at the parliament. Meanwhile, ...back at the fist fight, Jake ducked another roundhouse, then parried with his left, then with his right, finally with his chin... MP Khaled Abdul Aal told CNN television that al-Saeedi's proposal has a "sectarian basis": "It is because Hizbullah is Shiite, despite being a resistance against Israel". "His proposal is worthless and can be equated with demanding the expulsion of the U.S. ambassador for interfering in the nation's affairs," he added. "Only the king has the authority to adopt such steps". |
