Assailants have hacked the Twitter account of Bahraini Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed al-Khalifa and posted hostile and insulting videos, the foreign ministry and local media reported on Saturday. Minister of Foreign Affairs has been hacked. Kindly be aware,” the foreign ministry said in a message posted on its Twitter account. The hackers used the minister’s account to retweet postings from another account identified as Numour al-Huriya (Tigers of Liberty), which appears to be that of Shi’a militants. The Arabic-language al-Wasat newspaper said on its website that hackers had posted several tweets and videos insulting to the minister.
