Bahraini ministry raps MPs filmed with Syrian rebels   

Gulf Daily News - 08 August, 2012

Foreign Ministry officials have hit out at two Bahraini MPs who appeared in a video with armed Syrian rebels.

Parliament second vice-chairman Shaikh Adel Al Ma'awada and Al Asala Islamic Society bloc president MP Abdulhaleem Murad were seen alongside five men holding AK-47s and a rocket launcher.

Society member Dr Faisal Al Gorair and former MP Hamad Al Mohannadi also appear in the video, which has caused a stir on social media websites.

The group reportedly made the trip to northern Syria to hand over funds collected in Bahrain in support of rebel attempts to overthrow President Bashar Al Assad.
