London, 16 Nov – Thirty-seven-year-old Zuhair Ebrahim Jassim Abdullah Abas was arrested by Bahraini authorities. The terror suspect was apprehended on charges relating to the attack on a police bus that killed police officer Salman Anjam and wounded nine others near the kingdom’s capital.

The authorities in Bahrain were also able to identify a cell that is being backed by Iran and they discovered several plots that it was involved in. One plot involved bombings in oil pipelines.

The chief of public security in Bahrain confirmed during a press conference earlier this week that Abas had been arrested. It has also been reported that his partner has fled to Iran.

We now know that the Iranian Regime has made a secret pact with Al-Qaeda to rebuild the terrorist group and help it prepare for phase two.

This shocking information was revealed in an investigative report by The Atlantic, which featured interviews with several of Osama bin Laden’s family members and Al-Qaeda members, published just days after the CIA declassified documents from the 2011 raid on bin Laden’s Pakistan complex, in which bin Laden died.

Among the dead, was Kandahar’s deputy governor, Abdul Ali Shamsi, Afghan diplomat Yama Quraishi, and five UAE humanitarian workers.
