Bahrain FM criticises Hezbollah leader\'s speech

Bahrain\'s foreign affairs minister on Sunday slammed Hezbollah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah for the latter\'s speech over providing military support for Syria\'s government, state-run Bahrain news agency reported. \"Nasrallah is a terrorist declaring war on his country,\" Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa said in a message posted on his twitter account. He called for stopping Nasrallah and saving the Lebanese people from him, claiming that \"stopping Nasrallah and rescuing Lebanon from him is a national and religious duty.\" In a televised speech on Saturday marking the 13th anniversary of the Liberation and Resistance, Hezbollah\'s leader said his group\'s volunteers were participating in the fighting in Syria. Bahrain, a Sunni-controlled government with a Shiite majority, has called repeatedly to blacklist Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.
