Bahrain Mirror: Al-Ayam newspaper, owned by the Bahraini King's advisor Nabeel Al-Hamer, said that Iran has "special operations rooms" on online forums through which it runs and organizes bombing operations against security forces, which are witnessed in Bahrain every now and then.

The newspaper also pointed out that "the communication takes place completely away from Twitter and Facebook, besides limiting the use of the Blackberry services since it has some defects that may disclose the identities of other terrorists."

Al-Ayam reported from a person called Dhafer Al-Zayani that one of the methods practiced by the terrorists are launching "personal attacks against their opponents through fake accounts managed from outside Bahrain, as they work on collecting private information about their opponent and his family, defame him and distract him from serving his national cause, which results in completely putting an end to his service."

Al-Zayani told the newspaper that he, along with a team, manages online campaigns supporting the Bahraini government. He added that his team translates the official government statements into 8 international languages and carries out other activities such as reviving the orders of merits that back the government.

The authorities use a number of people to launch campaigns that degrade the opposition's stances as well as the anti-government majority in Bahrain. An important part of the mission of such campaigns is based on attempting to refute the allegations of the opposition, polishing the official stance of the government, which is facing a lot of criticism due to its terrible human rights record in the country, according to human rights organization and western countries.
