är en av Irans främsta allierade i landet.
Han har på något outgrundligt sätt skaffat
sig svenskt pass, vilket dock inte skyddar
honom mot polisen.
Han greps och dömdes till 20 års fängelse
nyligen för terrorverksamhet och kidnappning av
en polis.
Al-Muqdad greps och dömdes redan förra året för
andra terroraktiviteter, men frigavs i februari vid
en amnesti. Nu är han dömd för nya terrordåd.
Han betraktas som nära kopplad till iranska
revolutionsgardet.
Samtidigt greps även den "svenske medborgaren"
Khalil Al Halwachi, som ännu inte åtalats.
Al Halwachi upges tillhöra samma iranska terror-
grupp.
Det pågående upproret i Bahrain handlar
tillsynes om motsättningen mellan sunni-
minoriteten och shiamajoriteten.
Även om demokratin förbättrats i landet

En viktig och förbisedd faktor är dock den
iranska ambitionen att skaffa sig kontroll
över det oljerika och ekonomiskt expansiva
landet.
