(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Bahrain on Tuesday became the first Arab state to blacklist Hezbollah as a terrorist group, Al Arabiya reported.
According to the report the decision was based mainly on the Lebanese organization's alleged support Hezbollah groups against Bahrain.
“The measure is to protect Bahrain’s security and stability from Hezbollah’s threats,” Bahraini MP Adil al-Asoumi told Al Arabiya.
He claimed that Hezbollah is not only a threat to Bahrain, but to the rest of the Gulf region, and called on “our Gulf brethren to confront the terrorist organization to secure Gulf security.”
He reportedly claimed that there is evidence that Hezbollah is instigating violence against the Bahraini government.
