| 2013-09-25 |
| [An Nahar] Bahrain's foreign minister on Tuesday lashed out at Hizbullah leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb... , calling him a "criminal" with no right to criticize the kingdom over its treatment of its Shiite opposition. "The people of Bahrain are above being addressed by a criminal whose hands are stained by the blood of innocents in Syria, Leb and Iraq," Bahraini Foreign Minister Khalid al-Khalifa wrote on Twitter. "Any contact with terrorist Hizbullah is a contact with the enemy," said Khalifa, whose Sunni-ruled kingdom, along with other Gulf monarchies, views Hizbullah as a terror group. Nasrallah on Monday dismissed the government of Bahrain as "dwarves whose oppression will get them only disappointment," warning that the Bahrain government "should not assume it can continue to oppress its people and pressure the outside world to remain silent." |
