Bahraini king says he 'foiled 30 years old foreign plot with the help of foreign troops'...

(Reuters) - "Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa has said a foreign plot against his Gulf Arab kingdom had been foiled and thanked troops brought in from fellow Sunni-ruled neighbors to help quell weeks of unrest...

"An external plot has been fomented for 20 to 30 years until the ground was ripe for subversive designs ... I here announce the failure of the fomented plot," he was quoted as telling troops in a report on state news agency BNA overnight. Had such a plot succeeded in one Gulf Arab country, Hamad said, it could have spilled into neighboring states.( that's a big plot)...

Bahrain complained to Arabsat on Sunday over "abuse and incitement" on Iran's Arabic-language Al Alam television, Hezbollah's Al-Manar and Shi'ite channel Ahlulbayt, which are all carried by the broadcaster, state news agency BNA said.(but the little king was ver happy with Al Jazeera's total silence!)..."
