The Bahraini regime says it is seeking to dissolve the country's two main opposition groups in its toughest crackdown on the reform movement.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - According to Bahrain's state media, the Ministry of Justice and Islamic Affairs said in a statement that it filed a lawsuit to dissolve the al-Wefaq and the Islamic Action Association parties.

Wefaq won 18 seats in Bahrain's 40-seat lower chamber of parliament last year.

In an interview with Press TV about the decision, Bahraini political activist Ali al-Faraj said that the regime is not seeking a political solution at the present time.
