Bahrain to investigate Hezbollah economic, political activities

Bahrain’s Interior Minister has issued directive to carry out investigations to examine possible Hezbollah activity in the Kingdom of Bahrain including financial investments, commercial and economic activity, operations that masquerade as charities, bank accounts, money transfers and individual members of the organization, to take the required legal procedures.

These investigations are part of the steps being taken as a result of designating Hezbollah as a terrorist organization by the Kingdom of Bahrain. This also coincides with the GCC’s recent announcement that member countries will consider Hezbollah as a terrorist organization and will look into their activities in the Gulf region.
