Bahrain is asserting that the Iranian-backed, Shiite Muslim militia Hezbollah is seeking to overthrow the Persian Gulf nation’s Sunni Muslim monarchy.
Protests against the monarchy have been “exacerbated by the active involvement of Hezbollah, a militia that operates freely in Lebanon outside any government control to conduct terrorist activities,” Bahrain’s Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid Bin Ahmed Al Khalifa said in an April 17 letter to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
